The Pioneer unit I have came out a few months ago with wireless Apple CarPlay. So it connects to my phone wirelessly when I get in the car. I have Google maps and Waze on my phone that I can use for navigation. It also displays may backup camera view. The functionality seems better than the factory nav could possibly be. I say, never having actually seen the factory nav. It’s basically a battle of the latest electronic gizmos you can get versus something 14 years old.

Of course, reliability of Pioneer units I have had in the past has not been the best from my recollection.

Even more important. The gear shift **** is at the perfect height to use as a hand rest when operating the touch screen! None of that wobbling around in mid air stuff.
