Default Installing Pioneer DD in c5

My gf is getting me the pioneer double din for xmas. DMH-2660NEX. I am getting the metra double din bezel and I am going to try to modify the ash tray area to accomidate my fuel pressure gauge.

What harnesses/adaptors do I need to retain stock amps/speakers and what is a good reverse camera to add that is relatively cheap ? I did read thru the c5 audio sticky but some of it seems outdated. I see alot of reverse camera cheap on amazon with good reviews.

same, have a 19 dodge ram, with a big system in it and my buddy used all PAC audio converters and such and it is really a great system. But I read some wierd reviews on both products, but I think that they did not set the levels correct on the PAC module.

thank you for replying !

There are some cheaper options for backup cameras available on Amazon. Realistically, any of the camera options listed will do.

okay so hopefully after christmas I will get to take this apart for the audio freshen up.

getting the metra double din dp-3021b , going to remove the ash tray/cig lighter area and somehow make a plate to mount the FP gauge too.

pioneer double din

ordered the ROEM-vet1

and thats about it. not trying to go crazy with the audio, in fact if the radio bezel wasnt currently broken and I got FM radio reception i would of kept the stock HU and maybe just added BT.
