I like the nav features of Apple Carplay in this 10th gen, and I miss having an aux in like my Gen 8 and 9 civic did.
I thought an EX-T should have a sat radio option, but mine doesn't - so I purchased a car cradle/dock and use the FM modulator in the cradle to transmit to the tuner - it is staticky, regardless of what FM freq I set the modulator to transmit on I'd like something better but not less convenient.
My cradle is powered by fuse slot #1 which goes hot when I start the car and de-energizes when I shut it off (so my cradle powers up and powers down without my intervention). I see there is a signal injector available from Siruis/XM, but it requires the sat radio to be powered up to use and negates any additional FM until you power it down.
My next idea is a Bluetooth transmitter - can I "Carplay" from one device and Bluetooth from another? (It looks like I may not be able to).
