I’d say @Lyons would know better than I would tbh.
I normally stick an Erisin unit in. 8gb ram, digital equaliser, wireless CarPlay. Specs might have moved on a bit since last year but that seems to have everything I need. I’d avoid the cheaper android units and the older OEM ones tend to work well but look like they have screens lifted out of a colour etch a sketch.
I'm considering an Erisin unit for the MK5. I want android auto etc however I need a physical volume knob in my life and not too many aftermarket units offer them. Kenwood kept rotary volume control a bit longer than the other big name manufacturers but seem to have dumped them now too.
I've been looking at this one
