Like, to replace the factory radio?

A pot of people have had good luck with the Joying unit.

Hopefully this helps:

Any double din receiver can get you a factory-looking in dash GPS. All depends on how far you want to take the modding

I have a pioneer avid 8200 nex I believe. Put the gps antenna in the left trunk well opposite the antenna. CarPlay or android auto works better and always updated.

Excellent head unit. I have one too. I put my sensor under the dash pad which worked fine in my case.

I highly recommend the Pioneer NEX units. I have the AVH-W4400NEX and it has worked great. Wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay are nice to have as well.

Hey all, I'm doing some modest thinking of adding a Double Din to my 04. I hate (hate) the idea of splicing wires and electrical mods. Is there a system that will just plug into the factory set up-- literally plug and play-- or am I resigned to cutting the harness?

Here's what I used. The only splicing you will need to do is from the head unit connector to the Axxess amplifier interface. No need to cut anything on the existing wiring harness.

I added a few more components, but these parts will get you what you need and will work well with the existing speakers if you're not ready to change them out yet.

I've got my backup camera hooked up for normal use. I was thinking of adding a second one for the nose for parking but remain undecided. Also considering adding a switch in-line for the reverse trigger for science purposes....to watch people when they're losing....

The rearview mirror camera overlays always show what's behind and are always recording the losers
