Stereo Replacement

Despite the awful acoustics of our cars I’ve decided to replace the OEM CR220. (Unable to find any recent threads). Looking for recommendations for a unit with phone connectivity and the ability to stream music that doesn’t look out of place in a 27 year old car. Mine does not have door speakers or amp. Also, are there replacement dash speakers that don’t require any cuts or mods?

A few questions...
Do you want to stay single DIN or convert to double DIN?
Do you want Android Auto or Apple CarPlay?
Do you want a backup camera?

Blue tooth adaptor.

I go for the 1/8" hard input but lots of people like the blue tooth. You can buy the 1/8" adaptor for much less.
