Replacement radio with NAV and backup camera?

Buy a portable gps and mount a backup camera that can plug into the gps. Much cheaper that way. Garmin makes a variety of units with camera imputs that work slick

Check out Crutchfield.com

See the Pioneer AVIC line. They make single and double DIN models with nice size screens.

I installed a Pioneer that I go for Christmas. the head unit was around $240 and the camera I got off Amazon for $20. the backup camera is great and crystal clear. and for GPS, you can download a GPS APP that works with the radio (App Radio). it will show on the screen just like a factory system. works great! and looks factory!

You can have factory nav installed outside of the dealership if you don't care about the cost. That's probably the cleanest solution.

I put in a double-DIN Kenwood DNX570HD that I found factory refurbed for around $500. Has pretty good Garmin nav + lifetime traffic and starts up quick enough to activate the rear-view camera by the time I put it in reverse. This is important and often overlooked. You don't want to sit there waiting for it to go through a long boot up sequence just so you can back up.

There are way better units out there like the Pioneer AVIC line as mentioned above if you want to spend more. There are things I don't like about it (small screen being #1, but I wanted a volume knob and you can't have everything with double-DIN), but it's relatively inexpensive and I don't have to have extra things floating around on my dash so I'm happy.

Plus 1 on the pioneer avic.

I have a Pioneer AVH series that I got through Crutchfield. I had to get a harness adapter for the Bose amp/speakers and steering wheel controls, installation was a snap. The Pioneer really improved the sound of the Bose system.

Like dodge guy above I got a camera off of Amazon and installed it at the same time.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I emailed the Crutchfield "expert advice" line and they came back with the Kenwood DNX571H

Kenwood seems to use the Garmin nav interface which would be a positive and reviews seem good. Interesting point about: "You don't want to sit there waiting for it to go through a long boot up sequence just so you can back up." It would also seem from some reviews to avoid any backup camera that uses wireless remote.
