I'd like a new receiver for my 2015 Honda Civic LX Sedan with a screen that support CarPlay. I looked up compatible headsets on crutchfield and they seem to fall into ~$300--400, but mostly brands listed as bad in the op and $1000+ Kenwood ones. Is there really no in between here? If the $400 ones work I'd probably just go with that so I'm curious if these brands have improved. I also found this rando Chinese one that on paper seems to do everything I need, but I'm out of my element/understanding here.
Some other questions I have are:
- What does iDatalink-ready mean? Only the Kenwood ones listed above seems to be ready for that, but the description is really generic.
- The cheaper ones all say (with a red cancel sign) "Hardwired connection to parking brake required." Does this mean the kit doesn't support this by default? Or is it just a warning to make sure I connect that wire so it works?
- I already have a rear camera, but it seems that some of these come with a camera. Anything I could do with that? I can just keep using my existing backup camera, right?
The expensive Kenwood ones seem to support more features with the extra install kit, so I suppose I'm leaning that way. Especially since it's unclear to me how to do the parking brake connection myself. But would be happy to save a lot of money if I can go with the others just as easily.

Ah okay, that makes sense given all the features supported by the Kenwood ones. Thanks!
