I use this. Reshow Car Audio aux Cassette... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FKFMRGF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It works great and I bought a Bluetooth dongle for another 10 bucks. Sounds great
Sounds like you need this: https://www.amazon.com/Metra-70-2103-Wiring-Harness-Equinox/dp/B000UQ7WPK
Hard to know for sure without a picture of the actual harness or factory stereo though. Do you know if the factory stereo had an amplifier outside of the deck? If so, it would be less hastle to use a wiring kit. Else, you have to run worws to each speaker from the deck and that is not fun.... Also, you will have to tag an accessory line under the steering column (this is a wire that is 12v when the car ignition is turned on.) Your car had GM LAN, so the stereo received that info through the stock harness over a serial protocol.
I am so glad that you are open-minded about purchasing an aftermarket headunit. I have read through your post.I think ATOTO product will meet all your demand. Here is product link you can check: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B3TX6MF. 2- 4 USB interfaces preset max 445W amplifier with higher 424w RMS power out, AUX/Backup camera/dash camera input, Bluetooth handsfree, steering wheel key control.Full HD 7" 1024*600 5-Touch Capacitive Touchscreen. There is a lot Honda CR-V owners using our products. If you interested , you can contact with me for some discounts to buy it.
Here you go. http://www.amazon.com/Stereo-Harness-Toyota-wiring-installation/dp/B000KL18NC
Why not get an alpine amp with 100WX4(@4 or 2 ohm) for 30$ more?
