    The touch screen in my wife's 2012 Prius C has died (the digitizer) and my wife says either get her a screen with Android Auto, or a new car (yikes!). Her current radio is the one with navigation, but it's not the JBL radio. Can anyone suggest a drop-in replacement screen that has Android Auto? I see some Chinese looking things, but it would be nice to hear about one that is legit and actually works.

    This is what her current radio looks like:

    Yes, but it's difficult to tell which are actually good ones, so I'm hoping someone here has tried one and can recommend a specific one.

    Go to Crutchfield, they are several different models to choose from.

    I do know that when you search online for sound systems that are compatible for your vehicle you get charged a way higher price. The trick is to find a dash kit for your car separate from the sound system you buy. Not only is it cheaper, but it doesn't limit what you can buy the way people who buy dash kit and sound system combined.
