I know, I know but if there's nothing else we can do about having CarPlay on the 9th Gen.

Honda just announced the 2016 Accord will be their first car to have CarPlay (and also Android Auto). So much for those old 2014 Civic promotional photos with CarPlay.

No, it is not the same head unit. From the article and other sources, Honda calls the new head unit DisplayAudio+. New internals. Software update for first generation DisplayAudio stereos would be unlikely. That is how Honda does things. They should have had a disclaimer to state the 2014 images were a representation only and no guarantee CarPlay would be supported in the photo representation.If you take a look at the pics on http://www.autoblog.com/2015/07/23/...-carplay-android-auto-official/#slide-3558665
That head unit is the same as ours with an extra bezel piece, its also the same as the promo pics from Apple. There may be hope..
No aftermarket stereos work with Honda's lane watch side camera. You would have to re-wire the rear camera or replace it with an aftermarket camera.So for 2k I could probably get carplay if I buy the stereo from a Honda dealer. What aftermarket units work with my HondaLane Watch button and backup camera? If one did I'd switch to aftermarket unit asap!
