Dash radio and monitor

03 u320. The double din Ford radio in the dash died. The single din radio that serves as the screen for the backup camera and holding tanks is also in need of replacement. Looking for suggestions. Whatever radio has to have backup camera and another video input for the holding tanks. I am thinking of a flip up screen. Also what about gps in the radio?  I appreciate any help about this. Ron

Ron they have new radios that are blue tooth connected to your phone. Will use your phone gps and they do have ones with cameras available. No clue on the extra video feed for tanks though. Personally I'm trying to give up on some of the old cds and other storage systems and use the phone more. Pandora for music or internet for almost anything. Changing world we live in.

Check the double DIN head units on ebay and Amazon. Choice of sizes, GPS, remote cameras, etc. Most are Android but boot in less than 2 seconds. Be sure to read all the reviews before ordering. double din gps stereo | eBay  Unless you are married to having a CD/DVD player built in, most have a USB port for a flash drive for music/photos/movies and have a larger screen because of that. Quite a few will mirror the screen on your iPhone/Android

Major brands like Pioneer, Alpine, Kenwood tend to get better reviews in my opinion but everything in electronics changes quickly.  double din gps stereo | eBay  Amazon.com : double din gps stereo

Apple play and Google play would be a must for me. Have it in my truck and love it.
