I have a peugeot partner as a general purpose family + bike wagon. It doesn't have any parking sensors or reversing camera etc.. not a big problem but a nice to have.

It has a factory head unit in it, but it looks to me like you could fit a double din unit in there - and my question is can I get some sort of head unit in there that'll do navigation, have an input and save a loop of dashcam footage, similar for a reversing camera (ideally it would automatically switch to this on engaging reverse gear), and take input from parking sensors for some sort of visual parking aid?

I'm an android device user but from youtube I'm not sure if android auto is quite intended for this sort of thing.

It might prove to be easier to do the parking sensors as a separate thing and just have standard beeper type affairs, but I thought I'd ask.

Lastly, if anyone knows someone in Bristol who can advise and install these sort of systems that'd be appreciated

Reversing camera would be a lot easier than dash cam. I'm not aware of any headunits that do that as standard.

Yep I've ordered a cheap action camera with automatic looping and recording on power on to take care of the dashcam side so I'll see if that makes life any easier.

Cheers
