I have a feeling that it should just have normal OBC function included for at least $20 less.
I guess I can purchase a apple car play module later. Not sure what people mean by "taking over the unit". I head a few people mention that. If you use apple car play, thats what it does, Apple Car Play takes over the unit. Unless what people mean that its hard to quit/disconnect or use anything else because Car Play butts in.

The DSP option that Avin offers is a on board chip set. If you have DSP with your existing system you must get the IBUS app. It doesn't sound like you do though, so the only thing you need the IBUS for is OBD functionality. The on board DSP by Avin is just personal preference. I think a couple people on this board have that option and love it. I didn't get it.
If, like me, you like to have the OBD displayed, the Carplay takes over and you can't see it without pushing buttons. That was annoying and it really doesn't offer anything besides email functionality which I don't use in the car. You connect the phone with blue tooth and your phone book is available as is the phone. If you like using the phone hands free in the car, I'd get a microphone as the one that comes with the unit is garbage. I connect the wifi to my phones hot spot and the apps, like waze, work. You can even program the unit to open waze when you push the nav button. Only app I haven't been able to get to work is iHeart.
