Prius C Aftermarket Stereo System / Receiver Suggestions

I, like many of you I presume, love my Prius C and probably don't forsee getting a new car in the near feature.

As such, I want to invest in making my experience driving even better in whatever ways I can.

I did look into installing aftermarket safety features, but ultimately decided these modifications seemed too expensive and difficult.

Since then, I have been researching aftermarket stereos that can provide a convenient wireless android auto experience.
Currently, I use a phone holder lodged in my CD player (iOttie One Touch) for navigation which works okay but is definitely a hassle to set up every time I enter my car. I have driven cars that support android auto natively with their stereo system and vastly prefer that experience since it just works.

From a lot of time browsing Crutchfield's website, talking to one of their sales reps, and watching review videos for aftermarket stereos, I arrived at a few options I like.

My bare minimum requirements were as follows

A. Supports Wireless Android Auto
B. Not a floating screen (fits snug in the Prius C's double din opening)

I don't forsee myself using the stereo for much more than playing music + Google Maps at the same time and I am not an audiophile. As such, I am aiming for models on the cheaper end (<$500)

Volume knobs

The Jensen and Dual with volume knobs don't fill me with a ton of confidence since they look like the dropship models I see on Amazon, but I do really really like my current knob. The reviews I've see of these models also don't seem too spectacular on the connectivity and general reliability of these units. It just kind of sucks there's a lack of options with volume knobs on Crutchfield's website.

Touchscreen buttons

The JVC is what one of the crutchfield reps tried to sell me on and it seems like a decent unit with a non-ugly UI. Don't know how I feel about touchscreen buttons though. Pioneer is another brand I've heard good things about and this unit was in a comfortable price range for me.

Physical buttons

This Sony unit has a lot of reviews as well as physical buttons, more similar to my current head unit.



I was wondering if anyone had any personal experience with any of these stereo systems and how they worked out for you. If you have a suggestion for a different unit/brand I am all ears.

I am also curious if anyone has had experience installing a float screen stereo and if that posed any issues for adjusting temperature, blocking vents, etc.

The interior for my Prius C is pretty packed so I fear a floating screen unit would compromise my ability to touch other things.
