Head units are about features .
Amps and speakers are about quality sound.

Don't do your own wiring unless it's the kind of thing you do all the time.
Harnesses are the way to go.
Yes, I understand HU's are about features but the stock Non-idrive basic single din HU does not have the features of todays electronics that most consumers are looking for nowadays (at least for me anyhow) wireless BT streaming, Touch screen possibly, and just all around up to date options for a 12yr old car with a horrible base set up.

I've read thread after thread and appreciate the speakers/amps/dsp options that were discussed by many members/pros/venders and understand my options fairly well but I must have missed a thread or 2 that discussed changing out the single din HU to an updated 2020-2023 unit and what folks had good luck with ? That's all, great information all over the forum and understand the frustration, but was just looking and cant find anything.
