Default Audio Upgrade

*2010 IS250 Convertible*

Newby here, and I apologize for not using the search.

I have a 2010 with the Nav screen and back-up camera, but NOT the Mark Levinson.

The screen has failed and the airbag light is on, both after the battery went dead.

I have disconnected the battery overnight, but no change. Perhaps it needs a factory reset or scan tool reset beyond what mine can do.

My own basic scan tool isn't showing any codes.

I live in Panama, and am traveling back to the USA in a few days. While there I figure that I might as well upgrade the screen to an aftermarket unit anyway, since it will be FAR easier to bring it back in my luggage than to have it imported.

So my question for you folks is: Which of the screens seems to be the most reliable and trouble free?

Ideally it would connect to the back-up cam (or have it's own), bluetooth for music, aux port for music, internal HD for some music, and either be able to hotspot to my phone for Waze or have it's own 4G LTE or 5G sim card ability so I can give it it's own data plan. I really only need it for the cam, Waze, and music (and HVAC controls, of course), so anything beyond that is a bonus.

I'm going to be rebuilding the audio since it isn't ML anyway.

Again I apologize for the rank newby question, but my time window is very limited and it is impossible to return defective stuff, so I need to get this right the first time.

Thank you all for any advice.
