Replacement head unit 2016 EX

I have a 2016 Fit EX. It has the basic stereo with CD player. My son is about to get his licence and I want to replace the head unit with one that has android Auto to get the GOS into the in dash display so he doesn't get comfortable interacting with his phone while in the car. I know it isn't a perfect fix, but every barrier is better.(My bug fear is he starts taking video calls while driving. I feel like he's always on a video call).

Talking with him about it today he mentioned that having the map that low on the dash felt uncomfortable. His mom's car has the display that started co up above the dash, bringing it higher in field of view and I totally get that.

Is there a head unit that can accept a second display that I could mount on top of the dash?

The idea is to put it above these vents and get the phone off the window mount.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

This is what my son and I are using as our blueprint for our train tracks. We want two independent rails one for each direction and the train tracks are situated over concrete full foundation. Then it's a half foundation in the middle and on either side. We really like this layout because it gives us a little bit of future proofing, we run our hyper tube underneath the middle half foundation, and my son really likes to drive the Fix-It car around between the railroad tracks on that half foundation and he gets excited because it's the perfect size road for his little fixing car. Where I run into an issue is when we have to change elevation. I have created a blueprint that uses meter ramps to go up and down, but there's no half foundation ramp available to me. Does this eventually become available and I just need to move further along in the game? Or is there another way that I can fix this? Or have I picked a design that is just going to make my life difficult?

My current solution on the incline is instead of using the asphalt half foundations, I'm using concrete pillars. I simply place two of them side by side in line with the incline and zoop them up. I'm also having issues with alignment on those inclines, but I think I recently watched some videos that should help solve the alignment problem. It just means I'm going to have to do some massive reworking.
