Aftermarket radio installation,… But what about.

So I’m looking to install an after market radio into my car. I have a 2017 Fit Ex 6 speed. I have the radio plate and harness already. The thing that’s really messing me up right now is finding the right radio.
i don’t want to looks my back up or P side camera.
Any one know any way I can do this with out losing those and what radios do you suggest for this to work?

Go to Crutchfield.com and you can find a wide variety that will suit your needs.
You want to confirm that the prospective stereo has a backup camera input and an input for a second camera.
Something similar to this
Good Luck!

You need this to retain steering wheel controls and both cameras

google "maestro rr2"
It's an interface adapter so your aftermarket radio can use your steering wheel buttons and cameras (assuming your radio supports more than one camera)

My link isn't imperative for you, just an example. You just need to make sure the one you choose allows for more than one camera input.
As for cost to get this upgrade working with your steering wheel controls, she ain't gonna be cheap!
Depending where you are, I'd say about 500-1000 for the radio and getting it to sync with the steering wheel controls (whatever interfaces/parts etc you'll need to get that going).

good luck!

Stock EX To Stock EX-L Radio.

As a side discussion on Radios,

Is it possible or has anyone successfully done an EX to an EX-L stock radio swap?

Would love to have the XM Siruis Radio option the EX-L radio has in my EX.
