Default 2014 trailhawk head unit

My current head unit in my 14 trailhawk lost all touch control and wanting to replace it with an aftermarket radio. I have found a few on amazon that is aftermarket but I have the factory amp and sub with heated seats and would love to retain that feature. I was wondering if anyone had upgraded to carplay with an aftermarket radio. Here are a few I found online

I looked at a lot of reviews, and many said you couldn't control the heated steering wheel or the seat. I wonder what else is missing, for example the menu to service the rear parking brake.

Not sure the newer ones fully support CarPlay. Navigation is also an extra cost.

I love how they gently removed that with a pair of wire cutters instead of undoing the connector. I guess when your profile says you've sold 1.7 million items, you can't take you time stripping cars.

I found a headunit from another 2014 trailhawk but it did not have the factory subwoofer. Would it still work with my 2014 trailhawk with the factory subwoofer?

I'm not sure. The front screens are the same, and it's relatively easy to take the radio apart and swap them. There are replacement screens on eBay too.
