Aftermarket head unit - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

If this has been asked and answered, I apologize. I searched, but did not find what I was looking for. I have a 2012 SS/RS, it has the Boston acoustics speakers. I am wanting to add an aftermarket nav unit. Pioneer, alpine or Sony. Going to use the schoshe dash kit. My question is what functions if any will I lose? I have back up warning with camera in the rear view mirror and heads up display. Dont think it will mess with anything on the hud, but you never know what all is tied in together. Any help would be appreciated.

I am about to get the Kenwood DNX891HD installed next week. This is about the best aftermarket system I can find on the internet. There is one step up from mine that incudes wifi but mine will have everything else. The only feature I am told I will lose is feeding radio information to the HUD. There are several youtube videos displaying this unit and other similar units.

You can always retrofit the MyLink.

Yea, I could, but more expensive than an aftermarket head unit and it would still be stock system.

Hallo,

i have installed a Metra kit 99-3010S with steering wheel control axxess aswc-1. My backup camera works, i have soldered from the oem harness two lines for the video Input. At the end i have soldered a video connector for my kenwood. Works fine. The oem usb connector i have connected to the usb Input cable from kenwood unit. The aux input works over metra kit. The oem mic does not work with my kenwood unit, i have installed the kenwood mic in the interior lighting at the same place of oem mic.I also installed a front backup camera. The gps antenna is placed under the dash at the right side. The oem fm antenna is connected with fakra adapter for european cars like VW.
You will lose the change informations for usb in the HUD. But all other features will work fine. If you take a scosche kit, you have a little touch screen for vehicle settings. Metra has no options for vehicle settings. Therefore i have connected a xia-lcd to Metra kit. I also have installed the scosche, but then my tpms was blocked. Thats why i have changed to Metra kit. Sorry for my bad english language.

Best regards from Germany

Scosche unit installed yesterday. So far, no radio info to HUD, and steering wheel controls are a little buggy. I have to go back Tuesday for an additional installation and for them to tweek the Scosche. Also not getting any OEM controls like tire pressure, speedometer, etc. Lock/unlock buttons also not working.

I haven't been on here much lately but wondering what is available for 2din dash kits now. Is Scosche the only offering right now?
