I also looked at the 19-20 Toyota HU (codename OM2086DA - PT296-18190-20), which would be fantastic (Carplay, 200mm wide, OEM, etc.), but they're $800+

So far, the Pioneer SPH-da160dab seems to tick all the boxes, while being only 280€ as we speak. It just lacks a physical volume knob. Am I nitpicking? Maybe.
physical volume knob isnt a big deal. My HU (stock 2020 OEM) has physical buttons and they work fine (I also have steering wheel controls for it as well).
It helps that they're arent tiny slit sized buttons too.

As long as its not a touch slider...cuz that could get very annoying depending on function. My old Honda Fit volume control was only via touch slider (and steering wheel control) and it was semi laggy so it was annoying to adjust volume with it.
my current HU uses a touch slider to scroll through the alphabet....and it is quite a pain in the butt to get to a specific letter for a song or artist name......(theres other quirks with this HU that pisses me off but i wont get into that)

As for HU itself, i always thought i'd end up swapping out for something made by Pioneer since that seems to be the only ones around nowadays that you can go to an electronics store to check out.
