$560

Amazon is offering the Pioneer 7-inch Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto Receiver (W4500NEX) for $559.84 shipped. That’s $140 off the going rate found at retailers like Best Buy and is within a few cents of the lowest price we have tracked there. If you’ve been holding out for a CarPlay receiver with wireless connectivity, it’s here and on sale. Even better, it also sports Android Auto compatibility, allowing you to flexibly switch mobile operating systems. With a 6.94-inch display, this receiver is almost as large as an iPad mini, providing plenty of screen real-estate for CarPlay’s upcoming updates. Rated 4.4/5 stars.

A low cost alternative could involve iOttie’s Qi Car Mount for $40. I’ve been using iOttie’s car mounts for several years now and have been very impressed since day one. With Qi charging built-in this model will keep your phone topped off while you roll down the road.
