Apple CarPlay Installation: Cost, Options & What to Expect (KC 2026)

If your car does not have Apple CarPlay, you are missing out. Maps, music, messages, and calls — all on a touchscreen instead of fumbling with your phone. At American Fusion Wheels, we install CarPlay head units daily.

CarPlay Head Unit Cost

Type Price (installed)
Basic 7" touchscreen (Kenwood, Pioneer) $300-$500
Wireless CarPlay (Alpine, Kenwood) $500-$800
Premium floating screen (Alpine Halo) $700-$1,200

Wired vs Wireless CarPlay

Wired requires plugging in your iPhone via Lightning or USB-C cable. Reliable, no lag, charges your phone. Wireless connects automatically via Bluetooth and WiFi when you start the car. More convenient but some users experience slight audio lag. We recommend wireless if your budget allows.

Installation takes 2-4 hours depending on your vehicle. We retain factory steering wheel controls, backup camera, and other features.
