What do I need to get and Android head unit installed?

So after the initial struggle of take apart the center console, thought it would be all plug and play. After not being able to get the Hu to power on, pulled out the multimeter to check fuses and wires.
Then looked up online to find out that the 2013 factor harness pins are different and don't match up with the metra harness.
Read people bought an extra harness to pull out pins to plug it, but I just started cutting wire to reroute to pin for ground.
Got the logo to flash for half a second and off again in acc mode. Engine on had the button illuminate with the logo flash again.
After hours of frustration called my. Brother over to take it home to have a look. Now I'm thinking the acc pin doesn't match up either lol.
Was not as simple as I thought it would be.
