Looking for Suggestions for Nav Receiver that will fit in the factory radio location of a 98 Supra with built-in bluetooth, GPS Nav, B/U Camera and Ipod adapter/usb.

Other preferences:
Would be nice to have Ipod/USB adapter on the back (JVC below does not)
I don't care for the flip-out units
Bluetooth Backup Camera would be cool!

Below are a few I've been considering but feedback would be appreciated, especially from folks that have experience with these units.

JVC KW-NT3HDT ($800)

Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT ($1,000)

Kenwood Excelon DNX9980HD ($1,800)

The Pioneer AVICs all have fantastic reviews. I'm actually considering the AVIC-Z120BT myself, as well as the JVC unit you listed.

Chk out the Clarion NX 500/501, I like it because it keeps a volume knob

thanks for the f/b guys. I'm trying to find out what b/u cameras are compatible with the jvc as I don't care for the ones they offer and looking for one with a CCD image sensor and obviously has to be waterproof. Here is one unit I'm considering, which is Lic plate mounted:

I have the Kenwood Excelon 6960 in my car.

It has all the features you listed.

All backup cameras should output a composite (yellow video rca connector) signal, so compatibility shouldn't be a problem. I love your idea of a bluetooth backup cam, since the power is already back there (from the reverse lights) having a bt interface would prevent the need to run a video cable from the dash to the back of the car. Have you ever seen such a thing? I would think a universal bluetooth interface could exist that takes the composite video signal and "bluetooths" it to head unit (or at least to the receiver half of the universal bt interface)...I'll have to go looking for one.

And, like poboy, I like having a volume knob. I don't know what this fascination with incremental volume (pushing the "up" button 14 times) is. I also want a dedicated Mute button, that completely mutes the sound (not just attenuates it some).

Sorry, here is a better write-up, for some reason the other site stated that it was a single din when it's actually a DBL...

Thanks for the info and suggestions.

On the B/T video camera I just assumed they existed. If not, I'm surprised since the head units come with built-in B/T. If not seems like an oppty for someone to capitalize on!

Decided on the Kenwood 6960 and the 200 series backup camera and they arrived yesterday.

Are there certain dimensions we cannot use for these double din HU? Or are they pretty standardized?

 

[VIPimports.com]

yes if you go on Crutchfield and enter your car make/model they will tell you.

I ended up going with the Kenwood.

Quality/features to money I like the Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT, it has some really great reviews!

EDIT: read through, disregard.
