Selecting Upgraded Head Unit & Adding Backup Camera

[YukonCrazy]

I have a stock non-screen head unit now in my 2008 Yukon. I would like to upgrade the head unit to one with a screen and add a backup camera. Kind of lost where to start with selecting a head unit, backup camera, and harness that will all work together.

Start with a PAC Audio harness.

Pick a Alpine, Kenwood, Clarion or Kenwood that fits your budget and needs. Use youtube to check reviews and functionality of the stereo you may get. There are many online retailers that have descent products. All of them should have a camera input and the ability to purchase a compatible camera.

i love the clarion cz702 i got its awsome
sorry but im just curious why you would need a backup camera in a tahoe i mean i can see why you need one in an RV or a BUS because there isnt any way to see out the back of the vehicle but in vehicle like a tahoe were you can see just fine out of the back i dont see the point

I have a pioneer 8500 with pioneer bu camera waiting to be installed. I too opted for a bu camera to help my wife see better when she backs out of her work stall.

Don't use the PAC piece. Personally I LOVE the Maestro http://maestro.idatalink.com/product/product/product_id/102 especially when paired with a Kenwood stereo. It allows you to read vehicle info such as oil temp, tire pressure, as well as read and reset CEL lights too.

So where did you end up buying the equipment from?

Crutchfield. They were having a sale at the time.
