I'm not sure where you can get aftermarket android auto stereos in the USA but https://www.android.com/intl/en_us/auto/ has a list of Cars/aftermarket stereos.

well a stereo in general will work with android devices via usb or aux cable so thats why i asked for single or double din stereo advice's that are half way decent and will last

PIONEER, as for which model that depends on your needs, like will you be running a sub and using aftermarket amps to drive all the door speakers? Pioneer has been a solid brand, I have owned several, I had an old 1.5 Din for my old 96 Tahoe I sold 15 years ago, then I bought a single DIN Pioneer for the Civic I got after that truck and used it for 5-6 years before I decided to UPGRADE (it was still fully functional when removed) to a DVD player Double din touchscreen Pioneer (this is the only one I had issue with, the DVD drive had trouble ejecting discs after a couple months, like something was pinched), I sold that off and ended up with a Factory Refurbished Pioneer I bought off Amazon in September 2011 and I am still rocking that one, I've had it installed in 3 different cars to date and I've got another cheaper Pioneer unit I slapped into my other car in March of last year. Long story short I've NEVER had to replace a Pioneer because it failed, only because it didn't meet my needs at the time.
