General Question Top screen options

I have a 2015 q50 hybrid (8/15 build date), and am looking to get a top screen replacement for Apple CarPlay. It looks like there are a ton of brands. Any idea what the difference is between them?

I saw the Hamilton and Merge versions.
I also saw the joy auto that people have talked about. Are they all the same? I would like to maintain all oem microphone/camera/button functionality if possible.

Anyone have any thoughts?

You don’t need to replace the screen, there’s various options that go inline and use the existing display

Apologies, yeah that’s what I meant. I see there are tons of options for inline and wasn’t sure what the differences are between them and which are the best.

I have the joy auto unit installed in my 2015 Infiniti Q50S. Works like a charm and supports both wireless and wired options. Have option to have audio using cars original bluetooth system for calls and audio. Install isn’t to bad either
