    I am sure it's all been posted before but I didnt find anything.

    I am looking into possibly replacing my stock head unit with a double din dvd/nav unit. any suggestions as to which one to buy? I am worried about a few things.

    1. I would like to continue to have the use of my rearview cam on the mirror or unit. Is there extra parts involved?

    2. I dont want to lose the function of my steering wheel controls

    3. whats the market like for my exsisting xm tuner and and fit kit?

    Thanks in advance fellas

    I have a kenwood dvd/nav unit. It also has bluetooth. It also has the rearview cam on the unit and the mirrow. I lost the funcion of the steering wheel but i think they make something where it would work. Not sure about xm tuner. Dont have one

    Check out the Rosen units, looks like tacoma is coming out soon. I think I'm going to have to get one. I think they maintain all functionality of stock parts and looks like stock. Very nice looking units
