A:AnswerYes. This is a CarPlay feature. The unit will give you an audio readout of your new text messages in CarPlay. This unit can also adapt to most aftermarket rear backup cameras.
A:AnswerI was able to retro fit this to a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. The biggest components you will need will be the wiring harness, which Best Buy will sometimes have them, and the bezel or install kit. The bezel kit is here: https://www.amazon.com/Metra-95-5818-1997-2003-Lincoln-Vehicles/dp/B0026CJ8F8 and the wiring harness is here https://www.amazon.com/Metra-70-1771-Harness-Lincoln-1998-Up/dp/B0002BEWZQ/ref=pd_bxgy_107_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0002BEWZQ&pd_rd_r=0fc94f61-f0b8-11e8-a464-9d17b534f1da&pd_rd_w=fHgHj&pd_rd_wg=QdGMk&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=6725dbd6-9917-451d-beba-16af7874e407&pf_rd_r=XM0K3DH0P5AZ3YRSF9KC&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=XM0K3DH0P5AZ3YRSF9KC. Other than that, just start exploring and taking it apart! Best of luck!
