New Radio for My Honda Fit 2015

Has anyone replaced their current radio for their Honda Fit 2015 ?
I've been looking at some other radio models that have way more features, now that Honda Screwed me over with not Android support or anything. There are android based Radios like this one :

"Yokotron" 9" Android 4 Car Radio Autoradio for Honda Jazz Fit 2014 2015 GPS | eBay


Or if anyone has installed any other i would to hear as well.

Also the installation looks like a big pain in the butt.. where can one get a radio installed ??
Thanks

Wow, that $290 ebay yoko comes with a rather archaic android version 4.4 (kitkat) which was released in 2013, almost 3 years old now.

I'd rather use my more current android phone over blue tooth mounted to the CD receptacle and get upgrades more frequently with phones, especially if you have a google nexus.

CD receptacle ? What's that ? I have an android phone but can't do much other than stream music via Bluetooth. Also 4.4 may be old but it a full fledged android. Meaning endless apps even if it's the older version any version of maps is better than no maps, any version of any app is better than no apps at all. That's why I'm looking into things like a new radio.

I am curious what you meant by CD receptacle. No idea what that is.
Thanks.

Ahh, aka the CD slot, takes one of these nicely:

You can actually mirror the phone on the display with a few steps discovered by another poster on the forum. It might be in another sub forum but it does take a few seconds at startup to initiate.

This logic is flawed.

Why not get a head unit with Android Auto built in?

Nice, Ive had older cars and bought radios but was knew very little about the newer cars with touch displays.

What would happen to the HDMI and USB Port ?

And where do you recommend i take my car to have the Radio installed ?

Thanks
