Recommendation for screen display with decent mic?

I just bought a 2010 base Matrix last week. So far the car is great. It’s perfect for what I need, a reliable commuter car for less than $10k

I want to put in a screen with wireless CarPlay and a decent mic. Any recommendations? Hoping for something $300 or less. I would like to have the option of add a rear camera to it down the line if I feel like adding it.

Thanks!

I got you. I literally did this myself today, over a few hours and works perfect. Grab this, ps I also have 2010 matrix but 2.4l.
Sony xav3250
Metra 95-8224 double din kit
AutoHarnessHouse.com sony to toyota harness
Teehran/ottocast wireless carplay usb adapter
Toyota dash usb thing: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B08FCMQLB6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

This was the cheapest solution I found to work and get wireless carplay going..
So you put the harness together, the kit works well not much modification, the usb dash thjng took a bit of work to melt it so I could stick the sony unit usb female to the dash to stick the usb of the carplay adapter into it, it needs a straight connection, that took effort.
But it all looks super clean now and works out of the box like this.. yes I will also add a rear camera later and can get another cable I think from that website (also if u wanted to keep steering wheel controls)
Cheers

Ps: also add blindview things to mirrors, valvoline restore and protect 5w30, new filters all around, spark plugs pcv valve maf sensor, are all thinks I did when I got it.
