Taking suggestions for replacement Stereo (Media Unit)

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s recently replaced their sound system with a nice sounding Media Unit (Touch Screen Video/Backup Cam/without CD Player).
Going to replace the aftermarket system that’s now 3 years old, and wanting something with better quality sound.

I have been really happy with the Pioneer HU I installed a couple of years ago.Its sound truly impressed me and although it was my intention to add my amps and subs to this vehicle I have found I like the sound stage and the volume enough to leave it alone with the stock sub and amp.I did replace the door speakers of course and am getting ready to add an aftermarket set of tweeters as the stock ones are starting to fail.This is also the first car I have owned since the early 90's that doesn't have a CD player.I like you, went for a Digital audio player and use nothing but FLAC files on an sd card.

That unit is not the exact 1 I have because mine has gone out of production but I am sure its close.

Just realized you want a touch screen.Sorry can't help you with that as I believe the TS was invented by the devil himself.

aweosme!! I’ve had touch screen with my last 3 cars, and I can’t imagine going back and fumbling with the buttons and knobs while driving. It’s like Apple. Once you get an iPhone, it’s near impossible to go back to Android. But… let’s save that subject for another time

There are screen cleaners for that!
lick the pb&j off you fingers and then you just wipe up the saliva off the screen. Lol

I have a JVC 560BT. Haven't had issues with it, except it doesn't keep the correct time at all.

Did I mention I am also somewhat of a germaphobe?
