New head unit for 04 Yukon Xl

[TM98]

I'm looking at replacing my factory bose HU because the CD player doesn't work and I would like to add a backup camera. I've been looking but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I haven't had to buy an aftermarket radio in about 10 years so I'm a little out of touch with it and don't know what accessories I would need.

I would like it to be a double din with screen to use with backup camera because we have a travel trailer and it would be easier backing up to the trailer or even without, something that we can play music either through our iPhone, auxiliary or USB port. I like the hands free calling. I believe I want to keep the steering wheel controls and the chimes working. I wouldn't mind it being a gps model but it's not needed. I don't want to go over $300 for the head unit if I can help it.

www.crutchfield.com is a great place to start. You can search for a headunit based on the features you want, and get the Axxess adapter to retain the steering wheel controls.

I have a single-din JVC unit from 2012, it has Bluetooth connectivity with an external microphone, I can stream media from my phone, my wife's iPhone, or a tablet. It also has a USB port, I have a couple of USB MicroSd drives, one with 16Gb of music, another with 32Gb of capacity, and it'll work with any thumbdrive or USB card reader. The only things it doesn't do is have the backup camera capability or GPS, my phone's GPS works for me... and most of the double-din units now have an AUX in just for a backup camera..

I have the Axxess adapter for my own '04 Yukon XL - my buttons work as follows:

Pause/Mute / Source Up....................... Track Up / Volume Up
Next station preset / Source Down............. Track Down / Volume Down
