Plug And Play 8.4 replacement?

[Kapt]

Just like the title says..... Is there such a thing? If not, what's a decent replacement deck that will work? Preferably one under $500

There is several aftermarket double din stereos that will work. It depends on what features you want. While it's not exactly plug and play, you will need to buy the wiring kit and mounting bracket, but there are several that are under $500. You can search a lot on crutchfield.

How are the adapter kits? I don't want anything ugly lol. Oh. Features. I need something that will connect to three amps, must work with my backup camera, and be compatible with my Android phone. Steering wheel controls would be nice, but I could live without them

You’re gonna need a maestro and a radio compatible with it in order to retain 100% of your HVAC controls. It also lets you keep the ability to change user settings (headlight delays, sound horn when locking, illuminated approach, etc). The kit posted above can’t do that.

I saw that someone had the Kenwood 9904s on sale this week for around that price.
