I would greatly appreciate some help. I have been reading different posts on here and I am a bit confused as to what direction I should go. I have a 2013 Tradesman crew cab with the most basic radio (I believe its a ra1). I want to upgrade to something that I can use for navigation, connect my phone to use Spotify (or some other wizardry to make this happen) as well as add a backup camera. I had originally thought I coudl plug and play an upgraded radio and add the camera but I am seeing it is much more complicated than that. I also thought I would have best buy install something aftermarket but I see that is not necessarily the best bet either. I can do the install myself, but I just want to make sure I get the right items to do this. I can get a OEM tailgate handle/ camera with the wire to run to the front of the truck, but is there a way to know if the truck is pre-wired for this? Are the aftermarket options (Stinger and amazon specials) just a waste of time or do they complicate things? Seems like there are endless possiblities. Will someone on here please help a brotha out? Thanks guys!
