That's exactly the sort of comment I come here for.

We retrofitted (i.e. hacked) AA onto my wifes 124 Spider. I've noticed it judders a lot when in satellite mode, but not in normal. Assumed this wouldn't be the case as it's essentially a video stream being played with touch events sent back and USB audio. Maybe some headunits are a bit underpowered for this?

That said on my Kia Cee'd it runs like a dream regardless, there is never a glitch.

Any more insight on the way AA and Carplay work from a manufacturers PoV?

Did you install the AA hardware from Mazda, or are you using the software tweak, which is not known for performance

Can I put the Mazda hardware in the spider?

[BoorishBears]

Yes, the infortainment (and almost all of the interior) is Mazda parts.

If you go through with it, pay attention to the version numbers.

I personally didn’t install it yet because previously you’d lose some functionality like navigation for the next owner. With the new tweaks that’s not an isssue.

The software AA is laggy because it’s essentially simulating proper AA.

There’s a note saying it’s not recommended anymore for being out of date and buggy

Awesome, thank you!
