This thing is just about to released. Shows a ton of promise - finally, wireless CarPlay in an aftermarket head unit! But - no volume knob (what is Alpine thinking??), eye-watering price (even after hefty discount). Will this fit an E46 without taking a Sawzall® to the dash? The head unit sits at the bottom half of the screen, unlike the stock unit, where it protrudes backwards from the top

Another plus: capacitive screen. The recent Sony CarPlay receiver inexplicably has a resistive screen, a huge downgrade and will eventually have durability issues.
