Same here. I have to unlearn decades of everything I thought I knew about car stereo HU's.

I've read through many forum threads and I'm confused on which one to buy. Lol.

Rule of thumb would be best CPU, most RAM, most storage space that is in your budget. Most units are just rebadged so there is very little difference between badge a or b.

The hot new feature everyone is going to want in Android Auto is the new "wireless Android Auto" feature, so i would recommend getting a head unit that has the new wireless AA built in already. Even if your phone is not currently supported for wireless AA, your next phone might be and you will be glad you got a head unit with that feature in it.

I just got the JVC KW-M845BT unit myself and i am pysched to get wireless AA working at some point in the near future.

You can have AA wireless right now on pretty much any Android HU:

Even on OEM HUs with no WiFi support:
