It's so important and useful to me that I've been thinking of retrofitting my Corvette C6, either by jailbreaking an iPad or simply mounting it.

For what it is worth, there are lots of double DIN aftermarket AirPlay options for a C6. No need for an iPad.

You might call me spoiled, but I find 6” screen to be too small.

Check out the floating double DIN receivers like Alpine's Halo11 or search eBay for dozens of cheap no-name ones-- not sure about their SQ, though.
Thanks! I found this one while searching for what I was looking for - https://www.knightdrivetv.com/products/c6-corvette-10-8-full...

It’s almost same price as Halo11, but seems to be far better product and fit! During first look of it, it felt expensive, but after looking at Halo11, it seems affordable :-)

Retrofitted my 2010 Tacoma beater because I can’t live without CarPlay
