Picked up a 2015 Willys last week and I'm absolutely in love...with everything but the stock head unit. My wife got a new Telluride a few months ago and I love the idea of a touchscreen with Carplay/Android Auto (I have Android, she has iPhone).

Looking to spend around $500 if possible.

My wish list:
  • Android Auto
  • Apple Carplay (wired is fine)
  • Touch Screen
  • Sirius XM
  • Use of steering wheel controls
  • Use of car antenna
Don't care about:
  • Waterproof
  • Wireless Android/Carplay
  • Playing CDs
  • Playing DVDs
Bonus points if it can:
  • Connect a back up camera if I go that route in the future...or now if the price is right

If anyone has a setup that comes close to this, I'd love to hear about it! There is just so much out there it's easy to get paralysis by analysis! It's been a decade or so since I swapped a head unit but the idea is to keep the cost low by doing it myself. I'm not immune to youtube or crutchfield instructions!

Thanks all!
 
What Chris linked is basically what I'm running. Works well, sounds good. Looks like you may have to dig around a bit for the modern version as his looks to be discontinued.
