    From those who have installed aftermarket head units in their 4th gen’s, what’s the best one I can get that is under 400 dollars while also not being a piece of eBay crap. Thanks to all

    There’s no best unit for Runners. Crutchfield and Trailgrid Pro offer many options and both have everything needed. Stay away from Pioneer but that’s my opinion. Otherwise pick one with the options you want and within your budget.

    Yep, it’s going to be a sliding scale between features you want and the price you want to pay, etc. (ex. I paid a little more for a physical volume knob in a Sonata years ago but got a resistive instead of capacitive touchscreen to save.)
