It seems the company sells multiple models at different prices. Do we know which are compatible with certain models of car?
It seems this other model requires android installed in the unit?
The information missing from the thread linked above is that the dongle mentioned is something like the Carlinkit dongle (there are other dongles, and other places to shop for them): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Carlinkit-Wireless-Navigation-Function-Bluetooth-Android-Car-Radio-black/dp/B07S1M8C34/
Also, be aware that you need to figure out how the RPi should power on and off, to not corrupt the sd card.
You can do that but buying this will revolutionize your life...
