    2004 Double Cab - new to me in 2015
    ARE Tonneau Cover
    I have a 2004 1st Gen double cab.

    I wanted opinions on the following components. My goal is a double din in dash unit with rear view camera. Andoid auto is a must. I also listen to Sirius XM. Hands free Bluetooth and an overall speaker upgrade.

    Current system is a basic pioneer bs690 that allowed me to have hands free. I use a Nexus 9 tablet for navigation.

    Looking at these two head units. https://www.crutchfield.com/Product...Items=01|500ILX207&compareItems=01|158XAV5000

    Sony xav-5000 or the upgrade to Alpine ilx-207. Not sure what rearview camera to pair with this setup but want gridlines.

    Basic speaker upgrade without modifying door panels. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_206CSS684/Kicker-43CSS68.html?tp=106&avf=Y

    Looking for input on the head unita and the value of HD radio?

    Thanks

    I have both a Sony headunit and a kenwood 9905. Both are nice units but I prefer the Sony bc it has a volume knob and the amplifier has a little more power. The Kenwood has wireless Android auto which is nice for short trips but kills your battery quickly...I wouldn't pay up for wireless as it pretty glitchy. I don't know anything about the Alpine.
