No, really I don’t care about that. But I really hate when heros like you after bricking device begging for help and complain how nobody wants to help.

And obviously you do not drive Kadjar since CarPlay works in fullscreen since version 3.3.16.x. From version 8 CP is available in fullscreen on 8.7 inch portrait device which is available in Megane/Scenic, Talisman, Espace and Koleos, not on landscape 7 inch display in Kadjar.
