    I’m fortunate to have a guy I’ve been going to for over 30 years, recommend by a friend. Trust, quality, and lifetime warranty on everything. Ask around family and friends, you could probably find someone.

    I ended up with a pioneer nex model too, upgraded speakers, license plate frame backup camera. Sounds amazingly clear, no amps or subs this time. I don’t need to rattle my neighbors two doors down.

    The only issue I ever have is if I pair the phone when I’m right at the edge of where I lose Wi-Fi. Then it wigs out a bit, gotta unplug and plug it back in.

    Do the backup cameras work with the new head unit displays?

    @Micbt25 Depending on which gen you have(2.5 or 3), there are adapters available for stock cameras. You do need to tie the head unit into the speed and reverse wires to have them activate though.

    It’s doable, but there’s no adapter for the “screen in mirror” model year. There’s a plug in the lower-left fuse box that carries the signal and can be tapped, bu no adapter.
