Do a search for single din CarPlay stereos with floating screens. I think those will work for you.

Good question to ask your Mazda dealer. Specifically if it is Android or iOS (upgradeable) or just Bluetooth. The reason I suggest the dealer is that there MIGHT be software/hardware upgrades that need installation before your query can be accurately answered. These are things that POSSIBLY are not automatically installed in whatever electronics that was originally installed in your Mazda when it was new. At 16 years, your 2006 is from the time of Pentium computers and car electronics were similarly stone-age.

A tablet is basically a smart phone with a larger screen.

There are Sony CD player/tuners that do basically this.

Go to Crutchfield.com and plug in your vehicle year/make/model and check out the available aftermarket receivers. Pretty much all of them will Bluetooth link to your phone for hands-free talking, plus allow updated media sources for music files. Some have touchscreens, like tablets.

Our CX3 does that. I had to pair the phone via Blue tooth. Now it happens automatically.
