I recently had a Pioneer double din 2550 installed. Has touch screen and Android Auto and Apple Car Play. I also added Sat radio. Very happy with it so far. I liked the Alpine units but they tend to be a bit pricey. The price of the Pioneer 2550 is nearly half of the Alpine 207.

The HVAC module gets moved down to the bottom, and either the pocket or CD storage goes right above it. I opted for the pocket. If you're in 3rd or 5th gear, the stick gets a tiny bit in the way of the HVAC module, but it's really not a big deal. You'll get used to it very quickly. You just gotta move your hand a little differently. Not a big deal.
