Kenwood, Alpine, JVC and Pioneer Nav units with a good stereo shop. Out of all of them i would wait for the new Kenwood with AndroidAuto and CarPlay which should be shipping soon as they have the best ease of use and our modern.

I thought our cars didn't work well with aftermarket units

Obviously they don't work that well to begin with. Your radio is over 16 years old, meaning that if you had a child when you bought the vehicle, it would be driving it today legally. I used to do high-end audio back in the day and in 01' I was replacing the MB COMAND systems on new vehicles. How are you going to bring it up to current standards without replacing it? Find a good stereo shop in your area and let them go at it. I have friends in the business all over the world, where you located? I might no someone I would be willing to state my reputation on.
