I just ordered a Lockpick bar cam 221, $70 from Sonicelectronics. Interfaces with DVD screen on head unit, has night vision and the grid lines. As for the mirror display you'd have to buy a new mirror from the mfr of the camera you choose, they are not very attractive and I don't know if it will interact with our other mirrors features.

You can use the lockpick 360 with the stock NAV unit but have to tap into the head unit

I have the same exact install as drumhawk. For me personally now that I have it, it's usless. I never use it, all though it is a neat gadget. The install I have liked the most ( which is on the same subject ) is the back up buzzers I put to the front grill of my car. It seemed I was always bumping stuff in parking lots till I installed them. Now when I get within a couple of feet it starts buzzing.

I got one for my truck at Costco for about $90. It fits over the rear plate and sends a signal to the receiver that can be dash mounted or on the visor.
I use it to line up the trailer hitch to the ball on the truck. Works perfect.
I don't know about integrating with the nav though.

My wife's 2011 Toyota camry has the factory nav/camera, not as useful as i expected but still worth having.

well I find that when I'm backing up I'm looking back other then looking into the display on the stereo, I just don't trust the display for figuring distance to things. I guess it's just easier for me to just turn my head and look back. I do use it on my motor home however, for the obvious reason. Just my opinion.

Yes I have. First I had to buy a cable called lockpick for 350.00, They charged me 450.00 to do it. It was an all day job but done very professionally. I have the kenwood cmos-300.
