Check before ordering: Check whether your car has the 17-pin or 40-pin radio connector and tell us when you order. Some cars need extra adapters that aren't included. The P1 version isn't marked as CarPlay-capable: choose P2CP or an S version if you need CarPlay or Android Auto. Voice control needs a paid activation code from the maker.
