2) A NBT emulator is needed. With this, all options/FSC's on the donor vehicle will be retained (Nav, Satellite Carplay if I can find one)
3) With an emulator, no coding is needed.

Can anyone confirm the above assumptions?

Questions re activating Carplay:
1) Is there any advantage if the original car had Carplay Prep?
2) Any advantage to donor car having Nav? I think I read that Nav FSC must be purchased too, if the car doesn't have it.
3) Where is the least expensive source for the Carplay FSC Code?

Thanks in advance for any help!
The Emulator wont prevent any needed coding. It is just to handle the VIN mismatch between car and Donor ENTRYNAV2.

Why not get better EVO Head Unit, and bypass the Emulator altogether?
