I forgot to address your other question... you do lose satellite radio although many found a way around that by simply using Sirius app. One hassle point was definitely finding room for the STARLINK unit that came with my car. They do make bypasses and your front speakers will not work if you take it out all together and do not get a bypass. I just managed to remove the metal brackets and shove it down in the back. I learned this by watching the subispeed android head unit install. To get CarPlay or android auto working, I bought this adapter and works great

I got an android tablet and this device: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QGZ9W1D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_o0YRDbJ8GNYGY
After a month or so of usage though, I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s a bad idea. The tablet isn’t built to be used this way. It keeps running out of charge. I only use it for long trips now and that too only because I don’t want to remove the tablet mount and leave a blemish :(
One does exist now but you have to be running Android 4.4.2+ to be compatible.

What’s great about this one is that it also has a USB port in case you want to charge your phone at the same time but what I’ve found is that surprisingly, the wireless CarPlay connection with this HU is much more stable than the cable connection. CarPlay would crash very often while connected with the cable. Wireless has not crashed yet.
This should work as long as your headunit is Android based.
