Ya tengo respuesta de NaviPlus: dicen que el hardware viene en una caja que se conecta al cableado de la pantalla multifunción y que por tanto, no modifica en nada el software y por ello, no genera problemas de garantía (eso dicen ellos). El precio incluye el suministro de la caja, y del cableado necesario, pero no la instalación. También me han dicho que en España no tienen talleres asociados, pero que un taller especialista lo instalará sin problemas. Vamos, que con la mano de obra seguro que el precio sube hasta los 700 Eur o más. Por cierto, la caja va programada en software Android (como si fuese una tablet), pero he re-confirmado con ellos que está instalado el CarPlay (para iOs). La caja trae una conexión USB dedicada que es donde se conecta el teléfono. Y otra cosa más, también me han confirmado que la pantalla multifunción opera de manera táctil aunque el coche esté en movimiento.
Copio a continuación la conversación, por si os interesa (va de más reciente a menos):
Hello
We don't have a dealer in Spain but you can take the car to local dealer to get it installed.
The price of kit is AU$850 with free delivery

Excuse me, Tim, but I do not understand completely. The price does include installation and all materials or the installation is excluded and should be paid apart?
And, where should I take the car to get it all installed? Are there any recommended workshops in Madrid area (Spain)?

It will be connected via USB cable, and the CarPlay box comes with dedicated USB dongle for connection.
The price we advertise on our website and other online platforms are all for price of the unit itself, unless specified with install.
And the touch screen do work whilst car is moving.

A couple of additiional questions:
- How is the iPhone connected to the box? Through Bluetooth, or wired (USB, AUX)?
- Who has to take care of the installation of the harness and the OEM bypass cables? Is the supply and the installation included in the price, or it's just the supply and I should look for an specialized workshop to get it all installed?
- Does the touch screen of the OEM works even though the car is moving? The current configuration disconnects touching options on the screen in that case.

Yes It is.
So It is an Android Software, with CarPlay installed inside.
Think it as you have an Android tablet, like Galaxy tab etc, but It has an Apple CarPlay Installed inside, and has a connection for iPhone.
Once iPhone connects to that port, CarPlay app gets initiated and works with iPhone.
May sounds complicated, but It's just a CarPlay, same as any other, happened to be in Android OS.

The car has an AUX input. It is located between the two front seats, inside a receptacle to store things.
One question: CarPlay is for iPhones. It is confusing to me that the box you mention is Andorid OS platform. Is it compatible with iOs, the iPhone software?

It's a hardware retrofit, that adding Android OS platform box (that has CarPlay installed) in to the existing headunit.
It does not change nor remove anything from the car, but only adding on, using OEM bypass cables and harness.
Just wonder whether the car has an AUX input in the vehicle?

- Subject CarPlay for Mazda 6 - 2017
- Message I am interested in retrofitting the CarPlay into my MZD Connect. What does the price include? Do I need any additional hardware to be installed or it is only a matter of installing software? In that case, how will I do it (my system is 59.00.502 EU N, that does not allow installing any sofware trough USB, only serial link)? Thanks!
