Basically, I am just wondering if it is possible to install an device that allows Apple CarPlay to work with a first generation Volt/Ampera? I am not the most technical of owners when it comes to modern electronics but there does appear to be a number of devices on the market that claim to make CarPlay work with older vehicles. Has anyone achieved success with this?

There is a chap on FB that has posted about it. I think he is French, I was expecting more of our US friends to have carried it out and was not sure of compatibility. If I remember rightly they were able to use a small section of the touchscreen to change the input but our display has something showing and is used as a 'button' where they selected. He has installed a box of tricks and an inconspicuous switch that allows him to change the screen display to an external source (mobile phone) and change back again when needed. Have a rake on YouTube and I will try and locate the info on the FB page.
Think this is the original thread on how to do it on the volt;

Not sure if this a newer option but it's more expensive!

It feels about as plug and play as your can get but will still require some dismantling and re-plugging of connectors.

It looks like a company in the Netherlands just released a device that allows CarPlay and Android Auto on a Gen 1 Volt. https://www.navinc.nl/5-navplay-carplay/carplay-android-auto-set-chevrolet-opel-gvif-incl-touch-control-rgb youtube video showing...

I think the Dutch product looks promising. I have emailed them to see if they have a supplier/installer in the UK.
Just watched the video
Very interesting with the R-Link multimedia interface device, suppose is better than nothing, only annoying thing is you cannot touch the car screen to use it, always have to be on your phone, which you cannot really do when you are driving.
The Navinc one is looks like the perfect solution although the link is no longer working. but i have managed to find the datasheet for it lol
