I am considering replacing the stereo in my 2007 E350 cargo van.
The van has no rear windows so backing up can some times be a challenge and I hav no Bluetooth connectivity so it makes some sense to get a radio with backup camera and with Bluetooth for phone calls .
I am open to a amp and a big woofer but honestly shouldn't give up the space a woofer would require.
My question is that I was told I need to get Apple CarPlay for my iPhone, anyone with any experience with that?
Any thoughts are general advice is appreciated......

Is this upgrade so you can entertain your victims before brutally murdering them? |

Will there be free candy offered? according to police reports, this is more effective than a "car stereo upgrade" |

In all seriousness, Apple Carplay is crap. Not worth even bothering with it in my opinion. Get a bluetooth headunit and it will do everything you need it to do... make calls, play music from your phone, etc. If you want the backup camera, get a double din unit (or flip out unit if you have a single din slot for the radio) w/ a 7" screen. Don't get ripped off on install either... it's simple (especially in a cargo van). I installed a lot of systems when I was younger. If you are all handy, I would recommend doing it yourself. If you're looking for affordable and decent quality... go with JBL, sony, pioneer. It's a shame you're not near NJ (I'm assuming). I have a really nice amp, subs and box that I'm trying to sell that you would've (likely) been very happy with for a few hundred. |

Sure, I don't have any signage on it so I can be completely anonymous just another white van so if I cut someone off they can't call and hassle me. No candy in the van, maybe a bit of dope, not sure.
99% of the time I have no passenger other then a dead hooker or two.

I do have the 2 din space. |

============= Will any Bluetooth unit allow me to stream my gps from my phone to the stereo screen? I do have the 2 din space. I know with an Android phone, you could use an MHL(Mobile High-Definition Link) or HDMI cable to physically attach to the bluetooth unit as long as it has the proper port(s) to mirror your phone screen on it. I believe Apple can do it via HDMI as well, but I'm not positive since I don't have one). If not (or you don't want the hassle of physical wires), Pioneer makes headunits that are compatible with both Android Auto and Apple Carplay. EDIT: You can also get some no name units on eBay for less than $200 if you're not looking to pay much. They may not last long though. I have however installed these in friends' cars in the past and some have lasted for 5-6 years. |

I noticed you said you don't utilise the passenger seat. Take a leaf out of Ted Bundys book and rip that thing out. You can fit a subwoofer in there which you can drape your victims over when needed.
