    Title. After my wife got a new suv I realized how nice it is to have the full carplay/android auto setup.
    I'm looking to upgrade the JBL head unit in my 2018. Don't need anything super fancy, but I am willing to spend for higher quality. Preferably something with high resolution. Also, I don't mind something that takes up the entire console space, as I almost never use the physical volume or tuner knobs, seek, etc. Any recommendations?
    Finally, if anyone has done the job, how difficult is it? Thanks in advanced.

    If I were considering an upgraded HU, I'd go to www.crutchfield.com and see what my options were. I think you can retain steering wheel controls with an add-on module. Not sure about access to the vehicle information.

    That's going to be tough for anything reputable for the features you're after. Good luck though.
