Default Backup camera and Usb outlet in c6 options

Hello guys, I'm sure a million questions have been asked about swapping out a receiver.

I'm planning on installing a kenwood 9904s and I was curious about where you guys might have purchased a cable to mount a USB socket in the console for android auto?

Also since the receiver has the capability I'd like to add a backup camera and possibly a front camera. I see there are lots of license plate frames that have them built in, but I have the nice color matched plate frame and I think it may look better mounted above the license plate. Is there a good link to a decent camera that mounts well there and will interface with one of the kenwood units?

Just trying to get the shopping part out of the way.

Thanks in advance
Luke

I just bought USB extension cables from Ebay and ran them beside the shifter and into the console. I notched little places for the cables to enter and put a USB cable for playing music off a thumb drive and an Android cable to charge and/or play music from the phone.

I've got a Pioneer stereo so I bought a Pioneer camera but the universal Kenwood cameras look like they mount the same way as the Pioneer. I've got mine mounted above the license plate with the 2-sided tape that comes with the camera.

Thanks for the reply, the kenwood comes with some USB extension cables, but I'm not sure if they have any way of mounting them. i might just get it and have a look before I make any purchases.

This is how I did it. 1 USB, 1 Android cable.

This dual USB3 makes a neat install.
But check your mounting location as it is a larger diameter than a lighter hole.

Also single USB in a similar mount.
