2013 FRS HU recs?
I haven't seen any more recent threads about upgrading the head unit so wanted to start one. I have the 2013 FRS base model and I'm looking for a fairly turnkey solution I can do myself I saw some suggestions about using Crutchfield and searching by my car since they have kits and the Alpine iLX-W650 seemed pretty cool, but the top question says " I know the ilx does have wireless android auto built in ..." Um, the specs say it does!?
Here's what I'm looking for: - want fits in the current location pretty seamlessly - fairly easy install and/or suggestions as to what pieces I need - don't have a backup camera, don't need that functionality - don't have controls on the steering wheel, don't need that functionality - bluetooth connectivity to my android (pixel 6 in case that matters) - would prefer a volume knob, but ok if not |

I have the Atoto A6 pro and it's awesome. No volume knob though, which is a huge downer. It seamlessly reconnects to my phone (much faster than my 2019 Impreza factory headunit)
The link I have to it for my build shows it as unavailable, but maybe you can find a successor or the same thing for sale elsewhere if you're interested- https://www.amazon.com/ATOTO-Navigat.../dp/B075W9H5P3

I bought a 2015 model PT546-00140 radio from eBay a few years back. It has a volume knob, bluetooth, and touch screen. Fit my 2013 perfectly, about a 15 minute install. You may be able to find one with the nav module. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...acat=0&_sop=15

Perhaps I should have been more clear. I have the basic head unit. I am looking for a touch screen unit that allows me to see my maps (Waze), make calls, and respond to text messages which is what I meant by Android Auto.
