I have fitted an Android unit to my ZS EV to give Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto.
It is a very small module that simply plugs into the USB port where you would normally connect your phone for CarPlay.
It needs access to the internet to work fully. This can be achieved by tethering to your phone, the in-car WiFi or by putting a SIM Card into the module.
I went the SIM-Card route.
Wireless CarPlay works flawlessly. I get into the car and just lay my phone down on the charging mat in the car and it auto-connects.
It actually runs Android 9 and with a SIM Card removes the need for a phone completely.
I’ve downloaded a few apps that will keep me occupied when charging the car

It also runs the full version of ABRP, so you can do all your configuration and route planning using the in-car screen without needing a subscription.
Almost any Application available on the Google App Store can be downloaded and used.
A good video showing features is here..
What apps have you downloaded for watching programmes / movies. I can't get sky go or any others to work. Android Auto only seems to put up certain apps
