My PnP adapter is shown in post #21 .
The WiFi reception is weak compared to my phone. I had to set up a Google Wifi in my garage, whereas my phone could see my main router without issue at the same distance. This is really the only deficiency of this unit.
Not sure about the radio reception, I am not familiar with my local area radio offerings in general, which means the only station in my world is Radio Hauraki .
I'm not sure how to broadcast my phone audio wirelessly. I suspect a wired solution is just a mini-jack to RCA cable.
I mainly listen to podcasts, mostly using the Google Podcast app. They just need to roll out the Auto Download in my area and I'm set...might need a timed relay to maintain the wifi connection for downloading after arrival in the garage.
My install is nothing special. The previous owner had a single-DIN radio with a DIN sized drawer to fill out the double DIN cut console. I purchased a stock console as I had an OEM radio and was going to go back to factory stock (well very close, my OEM stereo is EU with RDS and my car would have a JDM stereo which has a truncated/shifted FM band). I decided against the OEM install when I saw this post on the Android radio. I liked the idea of a backup camera and I figured that for the price it would be a good project. I reused the previous owner's bracket, which is two side by side plates with a U-shaped sheet metal connector in the middle...trial and error was required to set it just right.
So I have everything to return the car back to stock as I did not cut any wires and I have all the Factory parts. It would probably take an hour or two to return to 100% OEM.
