If you don't mind having to run a cable from the CarPlay box to the front of your car, you can hide the CarPlay box in the trunk. This is a good option if you want to keep the CarPlay box completely out of sight.

To install a CarPlay box in the trunk, you will need to run a cable from the CarPlay box to the front of your car. You can use an existing wire harness, or you can drill a hole in the firewall to run the cable through.
