C6- Need a replacement for a replacement Stereo
I am confused about what to buy. I would like to put in a stereo system that has all the things my old one did. But I would like it to have some spoken navigation but I am not happy with this android auto . And do not want to buy a Iphone. Does anyone have any ideas?

You want a double din head unit with built in GPS.
Example:
Kenwood DNX697S
Not sure why you don't like Android Auto...

FWIW, Kenwood makes the best units with the best UI and most features. It's just that finding one right now can be tricky. The main thing I would say, no matter what brand you go with, is to get one with a capacitive screen. The resistive style screen will drive you nuts--trust me.
Here is the unit I have: Kenwood-Excelon-DMX957XR It doesn't have the navigation on it, but the Android Auto is wireless so you don't have to hook up your phone every time, you just have to wait for it to connect.
Good luck.

+1 on Kenwood. As with most Garmin products the navigation just works. From my experience I would stay far far away from any Pioneer offerings. I had nothing but problems with their units, including slow or non-responsive touch screens and even slower non-responsive customer service.
