Take a look at Crutchfield.com. They are very helpful.
I put a JVC in mine. No nav or graphics.

Crutch field is a good website and they have good customer service but are over priced. Some people say it's worth it for the excellent customer service though. I personally like sonicelectronix.com That's where I order all of my audio stuff from.

Head to either one of the websites and you can use the filters to select things you want (Apple CarPlay, navigation, Bluetooth) That'll help narrow down your choices. Be sure to read lots of reviews on certain products. Maybe even watch a few YouTube videos on them.
Good luck

I also use Sonicelectronix.com, they are the cheapest and great customer service. Here is my Pioneer I got from them, it is model AVH-X2600BT. I does everything I want it to.

I've always been a fan of Pioneer.

Not to jack a thread, but has anyone successfully done the parking brake override on their pioneer, and how did you do it? I have seen the toggle switch method, but also seen a "hack" through some units without using toggles or relays.

With yours I'm pretty sure it needs more than just a simple ground like the old ones. It needs a double pulse bypass.
Something similar to this

Yep, like said above, get a parking brake bypass relay. Super easy to wire in, and your in business.
