Hello, first of all I'm new to this forum. Picked up a 2016 STI about 3 and a half weeks ago. Absolutely loving everything about this car aside for the pitiful Subaru head unit (standard 6inch one without Nav). I think this needs to be replaced and I noticed there were some very good looking ones with Android support in the $400 range.
I did some searching and found this and this as recommendations. I was wondering if there are any newer/better models that I haven't heard about in that price range?
Important features:
-Must not eliminate reverse camera
-Touch screen, at least 6 or 7 inches
-Navigation
-Great audio controls & stock USB support
-Bluetooth
-fits in dash/includes faceplate etc.
-integration with steering wheel controls
Nice to have:
-Push to talk/works with google's speech features
-android mirroring/android auto or internal android based apps (google maps, waze, etc.)
-customizable wallpapers/backgrounds/colors, etc
Does not need (if they are included that is fine, if i can remove or exclude them from installation, even better):
-CD/DVD/Bluray, I never use any
-XM/radio of any kind
Additionally, if it comes with all the parts so I can install myself that would be optimal; would prefer to spend more on the head unit than waste money on labor. But I think the most important thing is that it has some included hardware to install it into the dash. I don't want to hack away or cut, paint, DIY anything.
