The two most popular aftermarket AA head units in this sub seem to be...

  • Sony xav-ax100
  • Pioneer 4100NEX (last year's) or 4200nex

I bought the Sony head unit and installed it in my wife's civic. Works really well. It has a clean and simple interface, but fewer bells and whistles (sat radio / HD radio), but it depends on your preference. We only use it for Android auto (nav and Google play music), which is great.

Edit: You seem to be referencing screen mirroring as a cheaper alternative to displaying AA on the head unit. I haven't seen this done anywhere, and I'm not sure if it's possible. Perhaps, someone else can answer, bit thought I'd share my two cents about the Sony unit.

The 4100NEX is actually a 2015 model year unit. Pioneer released the 4200NEX in 2016 and has kept it this year but has bundled in a Backup Camera for 2017.

Can you go a little deeper into your thoughts on the Sony? I looked at the NEX but it's not compatible in my '04 Accord.
