[Irace86.2.0]

I'm finally think of upgrading the sound system on the car. I am not very knowledgeable in this area, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll likely get the OEM+ audio kit for speaker upgrades, so the next thing is figuring out a head unit.

Must haves:

--Price................under a grand
--Size.................flush fit to 2013 BRZ (200mm)
--Ease of install...mostly plug n play with 2013 BRZ or with adapter with minimal custom work
--Bluetooth.........yes
--AppleCarplay....yes, and it needs to be wireless
--Quality.............much improved over 2013 unit; as close as possible to modern touch screens
--Design.............simple, looks OEM, red backlit buttons (or switchable illumination), etc
--Power..............is not a bottleneck to the sound quality for the OEM+ system

Unnecessary perks:

--AndroidAuto.....not necessary, but it'll likely be there with AppleCarplay
--Subwoofer........I believe the OEM+ sub isn't stand alone, so this isn't an issue
--CD/DVD...........this would rarely get used if ever, so ya, not necessary
--Plugs...............ability to use the OEM aux/usb to play songs
--Storage...........SD card slot or internal storage, or ability to play from USB stick
--Anti-Theft........removable face or lock would be a plus
--Satellite..........SiriusXM capable
--HD Radio.........yes, but I would prefer it didn't flip back and forth like the OEM system
--Audio..............sound control/features/tunability
--Boot up...........fast; potential to stay on after push-button stop unlike OEM unit

Absolutely not necessary:

--Navigation


I think this is everything. Let me know what features I missed, so I can add them to the list, and of course, let me know what HU fits my needs best.

Thanks in advance.
