Welcome to the forum Clayellis!
I haven't, yet someone will give u the info u want I'm sure. For now....show us a real pic of your sonic when u get a chance. Have to see what we're dealing with
There is no way I have been able to find to get car play on the the stock radio. The radio is integrated with a bunch of things and they could not swap it with a 2016 Spark or a 2017 Sonic no matter how much money I could throw at them. I work with GM and dealer a lot and no one could find a in house solution for me.
This! I installed a Pioneer 8200NEX in my Lotus Evora a few weeks back...couldn't be happier! I also put in a Bluetooth OBDII adapter so I could run custom gauges on the head unit via the Dash Command app with direct app control using AppRadio mode. I wouldn't know why you would have so much trouble getting what you want. Most aftermarket systems can integrate what you need, even steering wheel controls.
In car entertainment makes the drive that much better! :banana:

is it possible to swap out a newer headunit into a older car? it looks like it would fit physically but i don't know about what the plugs or programing is like. i found a unit already ebay 160 bucks

This kit come with a replacement trim piece.
If you want to keep the card slot/ idk whats going on with the recessed portion in the middle.
You could always buy that part from an LS
Also I have one of those trim pieces from the kit if anyone wants....

If you have the uf7 head unit apple car play will only work when connected via usb port in upper glove box. I have not tested this myself but did verify thru infotainment that it is there but only works via usb after the latest update... Apparently it was hit and miss before update.

Not compatible... I have been speaking with cheavy about this because of the lockup issue with the pandora app when receiving a phone call... The service dept has done it before but its really expensive because they litterally have to change a good portion of the main wire harness... But it seems to me there should be a quick fix but they are dragging their feet...
