Hi, looking for advice on best double din head unit for C5. I would like android auto etc. Looked at the Sony Xav-ax5000 but it has terrible reviews for use with android auto. Any ideas?
Thanks

I have a Kenwood without GPS and am quite satisfied with it. It was put in in August of 2018.

For the record I am a huge believer in Pioneers. Lots of people have great enjoyment out of Kenwoods and Alpines as well.

Sony seems to have lost their luster in a lot of products.

Kenwood Excelon series or Alpine if you wanna really spend money. For speakers Focal bar none.

I have a Kenwood in my truck and just put a Kenwood in my C5. With CD, DVD, Back-up camera, SIRIXM and can't live without the Apple Car Play. No complaints at all. BUT, if I had seen this first (link below) I might have tried it.

Stick with the major brands and you'll be good to go.
Hell, my Pioneer in my Expedition is 28 years old and still going strong.
I also recommend you completely replace speakers too as I think the Bose speakers/amps suck

Interesting for sure. I see they also make a single DIN version as well. Could be a nice solution that does not require replacing the OEM bezel.
