Before installing the CarPlay module, I reviewed a lot of YouTube tutorials and thought it would be very fun if I could install it myself. I also wanted to do some challenging things. The point is that can save a lot of costs. I didn't investigate the cost of local installation, but I guess it will not be low.
I chose Carlinkitlife.
Their module has the following advantages compared to others:
1. The price is more reasonable, less than $350.
2. You don't have to do wiring to link to a fuse and get power
3. Doesn’t require external unit such as joyeauto.
4. The board itself is well made and the and components are looking great.

This is the purchase link:

This is all the accessories I received:
Hood Automotive lighting Automotive tire Fender Electrical wiring


The most complex part of the entire process was connecting the board, but the instructions they provide explain this in great detail.
