Hi i was wondering, if anyone has changed their Radio head unit with new market navii system available (Pioneer ) ? Recommendations and advices will be appreciated

Didn't think that was possible...

This isn't really possible, the head unit and touch screen are separate, and the touch screen's cavity is too shallow for even a thin head unit (not to mention you would lose all the car-specific features with an aftermarket system).

If you have the 9.2" Ultimate, there is a thread about potentially modifying the 2018-19 G80 software to work with it (giving android auto/carplay), though it's still a work-in-progress.

The 2017 - On Head Unit will fit the existing wiring but it will require swapping out the amp for a newer one of the same vintage as well. Apparently, the CAN bus is looking for it. The newer amp also requires some wiring mods.

As far as I know, no one has tried messing with the software solution for quite some time.
