    Looks like mine, but my screen tilts, was an expensive HU but it's been worth it.

    I installed the Kenwood Excelon DMX957XR with the tilt screen and multi-camera hookup (rear tailgate, front bumper, back of rear skid plate). Loved that. But having the screen up higher like yours would have been ideal.

    Looks pretty similar to mine, the front and rear cameras are awesome, I love how you can turn on the front cam then when you go into reverse it shows the rear cam, then goes back to the front. Perfect for making a 3-20 point turn on a road with a cliff on one side...

    I have a wide angle Natika on the front and it points almost straight down, but you can see far enough forward with it. Super handy.

    I don’t think they make too many tilt screens anymore, too bad, there’s no moving hvac around on early models. A tilt screen that supports the newest tech would be nice. Probably a very small market, thus likely to never happen

    This is sort of thread related so figured I'd share....
    I just tried 4 different head units, started with the Stinger HORIZON10 and quickly realized 10" would require a ton of modifications to get to work with the cable driven HVAC controls and the automatic gear shift, so I abandoned it and looked for 7" double DIN models.

    Ended up with this thing which is a beast and hidden gem for under $300: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HNL9753
    External antennas, built-in GPS, full Android so you can install anything, and wireless linking. Even 4G if you want to pay for the SIM card. And it's faster than you'd think. I plan on installing Orux soon for offline topo map access in Garmin format. I coupled it with a DSP at an equally crazy good price https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D95WYDNX over optical cable (only 2nd gen supports this and 3rd is out, so this is probably a limited time opportunity)
