Default Recommendations for backup camera & bluetooth for C5

Recently purchased a 2002 C5 convertible and would like to add a backup camera and Bluetooth capability. Recommendations would be appreciated.

Steering wheel controls? I don't recall ever seeing that on a C5.
what's your budget? You'll need anew headunit for sure.

The c5 guys are doing some cool stuff with the joying units. Some of them have even mounted them behind the factory dash piece and sized the screen of these Android powered radios to work. Very cool.

hard to find a double din setup at that price point due to needing about $350 in install parts (dash bezel). This Alpine with parts and all is about $650. Several cameras to choose from.
