Audio Question for the hive mind! 
I have the ‘crackling’ issue when using Apple Carplay.
The software build is current, and the SOS unit has just been replaced. (It solved the WeConnect/Mic problems.)
Searching through various forums doesn’t give me much hope that a solution is available via VW so I am now considering a change of head unit.
The question is; just how much functionality will I lose or keep?
I can’t confirm if the factory head unit is simply an audio/visual processor for everything coming from other sources in the vehicle - in which case I shouldn’t have to lose anything.
I realise that a lot will depend on the replacement unit, but can anyone enlighten me please.
I am also aware that there are some workarounds, but I spend a LOT of time travelling and can’t be doing with extra shutdowns, routings ’n stuff.
