    Are there any of these things that just tuck into the standard space like this one but without the massive screen?
    I would skip this Sony unit.

    The features on the head unit are not bad, however the lack of a hi definition capacitive screen sucks. You will never want to go back to a resistive screen after going capacitive.

    If you must have wireless Apple Car Play and want a high quality screen then I would go for the Kenwood DDX9905S, DDX9906XR or the Pioneer X4400 series. On top of that you will need to purchase a proper dash kit, and wiring harness. I highly suggest you get a iDataLink Maestro with the proper aftermarket harness from iDataLink for your vehicle. If your car came with Sirius, XM or Sirius XM then you can probably just get a a iDatalink Sirius XM antenna adapter and use the existing satellite radio antenna.

    To save some money you can go with an older capacitive head unit, like the DDX9903s or DDX9904s. These may be refurbs, but are going to be half the price of a new Kenwood unit.
