However, for those like myself without Connected drive, a retrofitted carplay system allows me to "push" nav addresses onto my CIC screen. The aftermarket CarPlay solution also stretches the entire screen.

For anyone looking at any sort of mirroring retrofit option, I would suggest you do your own research to understand the options available and pick what best suits your needs.
Thanks for the clarification.
