How do you plan to get audio in? Bluetooth? Wired audio input?
In your first post you were calling it a head unit, which would replace everything. Given the picture, you have a more fully integrated android auto compatible system rather than a traditional head unit, so I understand why the other commenter pointed to that - its similar to what I would have suggested, which would be to get a din cover appropriately sized, then cut out for a screen.
So the question becomes how do you want to hear and/or see? That would decide placement requirements. For example, I have a nice spot in the passenger seat I could easily hide it behind a panel under the dash, but the audio input I’d have to bring over to the armrest. So I’d run a cable under the carpet to the aux input, bring it up the side of the armrest and plug it in.
FWIW, your phone may work nicely by rebooting into recovery and wiping the cache partition. That resolved things for my wife and her car, no issues or trouble since.

Why not 3D print something for it? I printed this to make a digital photo frame with a Pi 4 and the official 7" Pi touch display. printables.com/…/44218-7-touchscreen-case-for-ras…
Printing it with something strong should help keep it safe in an accident though you’ll need to create a mounting solution.

He, I wish. I don’t have access to a 3D printer either at home or in the close area. I’d have to go to the closest big city for that and at that point it costs as much in fuel as it’d cost to get a new one. Granted I have to find one that suits my needs to begin with.
