Default OEM Radio Options?

What's up guys, i have a 2010 xB RS 7 with the standard headunit, stock speakers, and a infinity basslink sub in the trunk. I also installed the old school "blulogic" bluetooth system

I want to upgrade the head unit with something newer but want to retain the way it sounds now, i love the sound quality

A few months back I got the older OEM Alpine radio with the touch screen in the right hand corner and ended up returning it because the sound quality was horrible. I did like the HD radio though

I've been looking at the "Bespoke" unit from the '13s or the standard touchscreen in the '14-'15s....... i like the look of the newer ones better but the bespoke radio still has the subwoofer outputs i need

One thing i noticed is newer scion radios don't use the standard round jack for the antenna anymore, it looks like a normal plug is used. Does anyone know if there is an adapter I can get for my round antenna plug to go into the square hole in the back of the radio?

I know that I may not retain certain factory features like Navi or the Bluetooth i just want a nicer looking radio (HD radio would be nice though)

Anyone have an opinion on which radio they like better?

Thanks

Dealer will be happy to bend you over and sell you a new head unit. Go to local junk yard or eBay. I bought a couple 2015 head units off eBay with the Nav unit included for $350ish.
Never been a big bass guy but I find the 2015 radio in xB not bad. I set the unit for the iQ profile and set the the bass to feel the bass, one of the best sounding stock radios I've had.

It's not bad for the music I like but I'm sure its not enough for rap and hip hop fans.
