Default input concerning display options

guys im not happy with my radio, id like something more modern. the problem is the way the climate control is worked into the dash, i dont see what options there are? i can get a used navigation unit, but in 2018 that naviagation display is obsolete. what has everyone else done?pictures maybe?

2006 AWD, does not currently have NAV

Does your car come with NAV or not?

Please NOTE, most (if not all) after market unit is make for NON-NAV vehicle which is not apply to your case (if you have NAV). If you really want after market unit, you could get it done but a lot of wiring work is required.

​​​​​​​Yeah it doesn't fit too snuggly, from what I read on some newer models of the car the clips from the cd changer and the air vents are different, but I haven't had time to play with it since the initial install

The sound quality is good/similar to stock, but you get eq settings which is cool. but right now there is a static or fuzz that happens when the unit is turned on, some have said grounding the metal case could fix it.

also the bluetooth is useless for music, it doesn't sound good at all, podcasts and phone calls are great though
