Most cars from the mid 90s until the mid 00s (sometimes later) have this: you replace the double-DIN factory head unit with an aftermarket CarPlay-compatible head unit. $200-$1000 (depending on how much you want to cheap out), easy DIY install or pay another couple hundred bucks to a stereo shop to install it for you. You now have a 7-10” central display that boots to CarPlay but can do radio/bluetooth/aux/satellite, and turns on a reverse camera when you shift into reverse. Climate control and everything else is still physical switches, because car manufacturers were still making cars properly.

Won’t be able to control auto locking and stuff like that though because it either didn’t exist or wasn’t controlled by the factory radio, because it was just a radio.

I did this to my old car, but I skipped the CarPlay cause that's too glitchy. It's just aux or bluetooth.
