I am trying to find a decently priced yet functional aftermarket head unit (with CarPlay support) for a 2010 Lexus RX 350. The car in question has a monochrome display with a passenger airbag warning underneath as shown here and here. Does anyone have any suggestions, preferably from a reasonably reputable seller and/or site?

i looked into the possibility of aftermarket stereos in lexus and it just isnt too easy since everything is usually integrated into the stock unit (ac controls, stereo, etc). if you can find a non-stock spot to put the headunit into and hotwire it into the car im sure it could be made to work but its probably way more trouble than its worth

It does look like there aren't many (reputable) options, but I found this, which appears to be a less expensive reselling of a T'eyes CC3 head unit, which appears to be recommended on Club Lexus. I have contacted the reseller to confirm this, and ask if all required wiring harnesses would be provided, but I think this is the head unit I will end up installing.
