Are there any radio/GPS/backup camera combo's like in the new trucks that will fit into the radio cutout in our dashboards?

I think I have seen something in the Crutchfield catalog that fits a single din slot that is a motorized screen that comes out from the radio slot and then flips up to a vertical position.

 

I once looked at them but decided to go a different way for my gps and camera.  They were fairly spendy and map upgrades were expensive as well.  I was also a little leary of the durability of a flip up screen mechanism hanging out there where it might get touched ot bumped inadvertently.

 

I went with a large screen Garmin for a couple of reasons: map and traffic updates were free; the screen size gives me lots of detail and the screen splits to show additional details as well, it has blue tooth so I can use my phone hands free and it is setup for trucks and RVs.  Which means you can put in the rig dimensions then the gps watches out for low overhangs, narrow lanes etc., and supposedly won't route you on a roadway that will get you into trouble.

 

I mounted it on the front edge of my dash just above the radio (because I am not fond of windshield mounts; you can't put a sunscreen in the window without taking the unit down everytime and its a long reach from the drivers seat to the windshield if I need to interact with the gps.

 

For the camera I chose to use an Edge brand camera and it interfaces with my Edge CTS Insight.  Again no windshield mount and no forward dash clutter either.  There are a ton of backup camera options. Some interface with a rearview mirror, some require a seperate monitor mounted upfront and some interface with an existing monitor screen.Etc.

 

Both of these installs are in my gen 3 because that's the truck I use most of the time to do my traveling in (recreation etc).

Somewhere on CF there was a guy that converted his 2nd gen dash over to fit a double din radio. He just cut the bezel out a bit to fit the face. Actually looked pretty good.

Like myself I purchased a MP3 Kenwood Stereo, Garmin 42LM GPS but no camera. I really don't need another toy.
