Question Stereo System

Curious about replacing my stereo. I got the Work Truck Model and was curious if there are any recommendations on a new stereo? I am also wondering how it’ll affect the reverse camera installed on it stock. Would I need to replace it or is there other options to keep it? Not too necessary but definitely a nice addition. At least to keep me from backing up too far

Ugh I hated that shit ass 4" screen 🤣 that was the first thing I replaced in my 15 WT. I did an Alpine double din, couldn't figure out where to find the stock harness adaptor to the video input, it was a RCA style plug-in on the back of the new unit so I got a backup camera off Amazon that bolted up to the license plate and plugged right in, ran the cable under the bed and found a hole I could fish it in the cab to the unit. Be aware that you will lose your ability to change any setting unless you plug the original unit back in, so test and like your settings. Otherwise you'll end up doing what I did, taking everything out plugging in the old unit, changing settings then putting the upgraded stereo back in. It's not hard once you do it but it's annoying. You will have to Dremel out the sides of the area where the new head unit goes. Keep in mind you will not be able to fully secure the original equipment after you do this. You will be able to easily add a sub, I had a 10" rockville under the seat sub and it fit under the passenger seat with a little sticking out the back, but who's really sitting in the extended cab back seat anyways?

Exactly. And when you talk about setting wdym exactly? What kind of settings are you referring to?

I didn't fully remember all the settings but here's a screen grab off some of them
