Best OEM 'like' Head Unit

Anyone have any recommendations on an OEM 'like' head unit, but aftermarket? I'm talking more like looking OEM but having features of what the aftermarket brings (apple carplay, etc.). I have a pretty decent system... everything is aftermarket except my head unit and the main reason for that is i don't want my system to 'look' aftermarket. I don't need a big screen and no buttons/knobs.

However, i'm getting really tired of the OEM head unit bass booster thing where at low volumes it compensates the bass signal which overdrives my subwoofer. I think aftermarket is the only way to get around this.

 

Hey Gkomo, I was in a similar place you’re in. I have a 300 watt kicker amp running KS 6x9s in the front, Subaru dash tweeters and kicker ks 6.75s in the rear powered by an alpine power pack. I have a kicker rt 10 powered by an alpine 500 watt amp all using factory head unit. Sound was really good, but still missing more fine tuning/better quality bass.

I just replaced my head unit with a 9” joying unit I purchased on eBay. It looks completely stock until you turn it on. I only got to test the sound quality out briefly, but I can already tell in my setup this is significantly better.

If you want more information let me know, for the price i can’t think you can beat it.

 

Ya man, thanks for the reply. Have a photo of the new head unit installed?
