Single DIN Options
Discussion
I want a new head unit for my Boxster, as it's an early one with manual HVAC controls you can't just move them to the bottom to make room for a double DIN so I'm stuck with a single DIN slot.... and when I say single DIN slot I mean actual single DIN size as any of the single DIN with a larger screen on the front options would encroach on the HVAC controls unfortunately.
I'd love something Android Auto enabled and have looked at fold out screen options but these all seem a bit gash and chintzy and the only one out there with Android Auto is a Pioneer that seems to be about six years old now. The Porsche Classic option is cool but only does Carplay.... plus the screen is smaller than the one on the phone
As such I've been searching for a nice single DIN head unit, these appear to now be rare and the ones that are out there don't seem much cop! Blaupunkt appear to have some reserved looking options with DAB and Bluetooth etc. any other options I should be looking at?

I have a similar requirement. If you can find anything better than the Pioneer SPH-10BT I've already got please let me know!
The Pioneer is okay, but it's a faff when you have to pull the mount out and clip your phone in as it uses the phone's screen. There must be a market for a sombre/restrained looking single DIN with a decent pop-out screen and wireless Android Auto/Carplay? Only stuff I can find is chintzy Chinesium.

Same here, nothing bit Chinesium for as far as the eye could see... So I gave up and ordered a Blaupunkt:
It has DAB, Bluetooth, Hands Free and doesn't look like a teenager high on Red Bull designed it. Whilst plain it should match the 986 dash pretty well and I'll design a phone holder / holder mount to put the phone somewhere sensible in the car.

That's the one I mentioned in my first post, it's a 6 year old design, the DAB and FM Tuner is a seperate hide away box and the styling of it is pretty crass. If it looked refined and was an all in one design (which is totally possible these days because everything else is) it'd already be in the car
