actually, this is possible and I don't think it's terribly priced for an OEM style solution. You would essentially be swapping out the head unit + a harness. However, I do believe you will lose the compass feature, but you're going to use CarPlay/Android Auto anyway right? I had a buddy do it on his '19 and it's been working pretty well for him. I have plans to do this in the future.

You can also choose to sell back your OEM head unit to them which would help drive overall cost down. He received $400 for his.
They also normally have a 15% off code, so keep an eye out for that as well.
Sure. Android system is obviously going to be the cheapest route, which I'm sure most people come across all the time. I'm just throwing out other options that some people may not come across. I'm mean, what's another $1600 for an OEM look to the build list anyway?The Joying head unit is like $350 lol
