2006 stock Head unit replacement

[a_ahmed]

So I've got it all stock but the previous owner did have extra stuff in there so im not sure what is or isn't stock.. there's even a little antena (i thought sirius but i dont get no sirius radio?), there is also an auxilary jack which i was using but wife frickin broke it (carelessly let it sit outside of car), i kept hearing a clicking sound... and then when i looked closer realized it was dragging on the road............... epic fail. So it's busted.

I figure for that I can just get a 3.5mm male jack (to plug into my iphone), cut and splice and be done with it?

While looking though... i thought to myself what are some head unit replacement options? The stock radio tuner is INSANELY slow... i hate how long it takes when u click... compared to some other cars...

So I came upon the above but I am wondering.. how would i do climate control if that thing goes in? I am thinking it replaces the whole piece including the part where climate control knobs are...


There's also this which looks like a different kit

If anyone has direct experience with these setups please advise too

And im wondering if any of these could have GPS? The thing is though with development constantly i would hope they have some kind of GPS map updates? My dad's got the latest garmin and you can update maps but it's an external unit obviously..

They all should have GPS and units such as those are direct plug&play from the factory
