I do regret not keeping myself updated with the electronic technology.. :-(

Gilles, your original ask was a head unit that has turn-by-turn nav and can still play CDs. Assuming you have a smartphone (Android or iPhone) you will be best served finding a head unit that supports Android Auto (if you have an Android) or Apple CarPlay if you have an iPhone. Most head units support both. This will allow you to use your phone for navigation and smartphones have the latest maps, traffic congestion, etc. This will also allow you to use your smartphone for music and calls via the head unit (and perhaps removing your need for the head unit to play CDs).

Assuming you want a head unit that can connect to a smartphone, the next option is how it will connect. Older units require you to plug your smartphone into a cord to connect and newer units allow you to do this wirelessly. The only advantage of plugging it in is that it will charge your smartphone while plugged in.

Other options in head units are size of screen, support for HD radio (which i recommend), support for satellite radio and whether it can play a CD or support a CD changer.

This should at least get you started. I'm sure others will add to this...

Any double din radio will fit (search on this to get more info). Any single din will fit too if you dont want anything other then radio & cd/usb. Not sure what you put in on the site but it's had no problems with their fitment process, especially for a radio. Speakers can trip it up, but thats pretty easy also.

Get the Continental OEM-looking radio with bluetooth and CD, and find a good place to mount your phone. Something like a vent-mounted Kenu Airframe or a stick-on magnetic mount like "carmount" are good options. You will always have up-to-date Nav through the phone app

To each his own. I for one wouldn't buy something with 10+ years of outdated Nav info is that's what I was wanting. Hate to see the directions it would give.

It does have CarPlay so if you have an iPhone you can use other nav apps.
