I recently bought a Pioneer AVH-1300NEX, wiring harness adapter, a parking brake bypass, and a 12" antenna cable extension from Amazon for around $250.

One of the cheapest stereos I could find with Apple CarPlay.
Installation was relatively easy. Just removed the brackets off the factory double din stereo and put them on the new Pioneer. No trimming of the instrument panel cover necessary.
Used a terminal strip I got at Lowes and a couple of bullet connectors to connect all the wires from the stereo to the wiring harness adapter and used the parking brake bypass for a couple of other connections to keep from having to run a wire to the parking brake (made it much easier). Then plugged the wiring harness adapter into the factory wiring harness. My antenna cable was barely long enough, so the 12" extension made it easier to connect. The extra length allowed me to rest the stereo on top of the dash with it completely connected to test it before I bolted it in.
Works well so far.
I have some pictures that I will try to post before long.
