Aftermarket nav that let's you look at the map while on a call?

    I currently have a Jensen VX7020, which is a pretty decent unit. It's staying with my 2006 if/when I trade it. Looking to get a 2013 and will want a navigation unit. However with the Jensen you can't look at the map and get directions while on a call. My basic requirements are that, bluetooth, backup camera and XM. I've been perusing Sonic Electronix who are great to do business with but I can't seem to find that info. I've emailed their sales email but that was almost useless.

    My other thought was an OEM nav unit but the 2014-15 uses units are extremely exspensive right now. The 2016 nav units are a good bit cheaper but not sure they'll fit. For cleanliness, I would prefer OEM but that route seems very expensive.

    Just a suggestion, but maybe look at a unit that gives you carplay or android auto instead of built in nav? Not sure if those would give you what you want though, I think most if not all units put the phone call first.

    I've looked into that a little. I'm not 100% sure I want my phone driving the process the whole time. It's certainly an option though. Thank you.
