That's exactly what I bought on my 2012, and I fear I may not be able to get it again if I have to replace the car. I got the lowest-spec stereo that still had Bluetooth. It also has AM/FM/CD which I use quite a bit, but no nav, no integrated streaming, no telematics, no GSM radio that bricks a bunch of features when the GSM network gets decommissioned, none of that.
Reason being, I worked in infotainment testing at the time, and I didn't want my car to remind me of work.
It's been fantastic. Nothing about it feels outdated. My kitchen appliances are from around the same era and likewise, they just work like they always have. There's no maps to expire, no subscriptions to renew, nothing of the sort.
Equally importantly, it doesn't spy on me. There's no EULA to accept when I start the car, no continuous feed of my location being sent to advertisers (unless I take my phone with me, which is my choice each trip).
And no chance of perverts spying on me with the car's cameras. It doesn't have any.
