What is the best unit on the market currently - I particularly want to ensure the screen will display all the iPod functionality (because I've heard some don't)
Also for you experts out there - what's the best way to connect a reversing camera up to the existing NAV screen??..and how do I make it come on when I put the truck in Reverse??
Thanks!!!

There will be others with a lot more knowledge about the iPod interface.* I am interested in that, too, especially if it is possible to dump track titles, etc. to the headunit.* That might be too much to ask, though.
Regarding the backup camera, though, check out
this page.* They sell an interface kit that allows you to add auxilliary video to the headunit, and can even be configured to automatically switch to the backup camera when the vehicle is put in reverse.* I do not know what the status is with their items for the 2006 system, but I am sure if they do not have one, it won't be long.* I believe these involve taking the headunit apart to add the device between the 'guts' of the system and the ribbon cable to the display, but from what I've read, it's pretty easy.
I hope that this helps.* I'm personally trying to find a kit that will allow me to use my Kenwood Music Keg as a CD changer on the 2005 headunit, with full steering wheel controls.* I've found a couple companies that make units that are supposed to allow you to connect Kenwood CD changers to the factory headunit and make it work like that, and since the Keg is looked as just a changer, it should work.* But I've heard mixed reports.* Bleh!
I'm eager to hear what people say about the iPod interface (or the Kenwood one!)
