Seconding getting the head unit upgraded to one that has carplay/android auto (if it doesn't already) - it makes SO much difference. Got it done on my car and while it was a strain on the wallet in one hit, it has paid off in scads from all the times it has made navigation etc so much better (and safer) than a mounted phone.
It will be having android auto - it has some connection already, but it might just be to play music. I have a TomTom gps unit that I actually really like for navigation, both because it keeps the maps downloaded and doesn't need internet connection and because the dashboard or windscreen mount position is better to look at than in the centre console.
