Default Kenwood install parts

So I searched around on this forum decided on the following for my 2012 ZR-1:

Kenwood957 XR
Metra double din install kit
APPS2Car parking brake bypass module
ADS Maestro ADS-MRR iDataLink Steering wheel interface wit h HRN-RR-GM5 T harness

I know I need a wiring harness, but haven't figured out which one I need yet and I need a rear view camera. Am I missing anything else for a basic install?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Use the PAC RP5-GM11 harness instead of the ADC Maestro.
This supports OnStar and steering wheel controls.

I have the 957XR, with the PAC RP5. Awesome head unit. Got everything thru Crutchfield and their ReadyHarness service. It's just plug and play. Parking brake bypass is not needed.

I agree, that technology was a little too dated along with the 8-bit graphics. The 957XR really woke up the Bose speakers too. I think you will be impressed with the sound this unit can produce.
