Default Looking for touch screen for c6

Hey all. Just recently got back into a Corvette and I'm looking to upgrade the stereo.

I had a Pioneer Avic-x920bt in my last Vette. What is the consensus for the best sq in a touch screen for a c6 these days? I don't care a lot about the nav, but I'm looking for iphone 6 plus compatibility, bluetooth, and front and rear cameras. Also would like to be able to change the backgrounds, but I assume most have that feature built in these days. I don't have steering wheel controls or onstar, but I do have the bose system. May or may not upgrade the amp and speakers right away but eventually I will.

I've read a little about the Pioneer Appradio and NEX but not sure what I should be looking at. Any insight would be helpful.

BTW, the car is an '06 3lt.

How about the Alpine iLX-007? Since you are looking for iPhone compatibility.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into that one. I really don't know what's out there these days.

Looks like the Alpine doesn't offer bluetooth, and I think it only comes with an input for 1 camera. The Pioneer Appradio also has only 1 input. So far the Nex is the one that seems to have everything but there are several to choose from and not much mention of the differences.

Correct, there is no Bluetooth but you make hand free calls with the iPhone hardwired via the lighting cable. I may actually prefer this since most Bluetooth phone calls suck in terms of audio quality.

I know what you mean. I just don't like the idea of having to plug the phone up every time I'm in the car. Sometimes it just isn't convenient.

Thanks for the info Dennis. I sent you a pm a few days ago to get your thoughts.
I bought my last one from you.
