2018 CX-5 touring, Carplay kit

Got 2018 CX-5 Touring, How do I know if car is compatible with Carplay kits available online?
It says this one, Retrofit Kit 00008FZ34, fits my model only with Mazda Connect??
How can I be sure?
Thanks for any suggestions.

As pointed out earlier, I would also go with OEM and I am 99% sure that your 2018 CX-5 has the Mazda Connect Infotainment system and hence, is compatible for Apple CarPlay / Android Auto
