Replacing 2017 Mirage G4 radio with OEM Carplay radio
Hello! I have the basic Mirage G4 (2017) without the touchscreen carplay radio, i found one at a local junkyard (Wrecked 2017 with carplay radio) and would like to install the touchscreen into my mirage, i’m just not sure what specific wires i need to get or if it will be easy to just plug in and go? Please help!
Well, if it's from a 17 you'll need to grab the radio, the surround piece, the adaptor harness, the little microphone stuck onto the steering column, the camera from the back and it's wiring, whatever piece the camera bolts into, and the GPS antenna which is horribly stuck on the dash in the corner. This can be mounted on the top of the radio instead so it doesn't look so stupid.
Did this on my 2015 hatchback but bought an aftermarket camera that I still have lazily not installed yet because it refuses to not be cold outside.

Will the adaptor harness from the radio plug right into my car or do i need to get a different set? Thank you for all of the information! This is all new to me so i’m sorry if i sound silly!
2017 Carplay Radio easy install?
I just purchased the 6.5 inch car play unit (2017) with the original wire harness and bezel included from a wrecked mirage g4. I have the 2017 mirage G4 with the normal basic radio (no touchscreen), will it be simple to just plug the wires from the new carplay radio into my car?

Your in Savannah, I used to live there when I was going to college at Georgia Southern. You see alot of Mirages down there? Theyre are a bunch here in Atlanta. Churchill's Pub still in business? That used to be my main watering hole.Originally Posted by Coreyhall
Hello! i just replaced the radio in my 2017 mirage with the touchscreen car play, the radio didn't come with the USB cord to enable car play or for me to plug my phone in, I'm having a hard time finding it online, can anyone help? The old USB connector doesn't fit the new radio

If you snap a pic of the port, I can probably tell you what it is (assuming a standard usb port). If I had to guess, it's probably a USB type-A Female port (for which you'd need a Type-A Male to Type-B Female cable, and maybe a Y adapter or hub).

You didn't get the adaptor cable? Uh oh. That's not good. You need that to go between the radio and the factory supplied USB cable.

I'm pretty sure the radio end of that cable is not any standard USB connector, but specific to the radio.
