  1. I'm looking for some info on the wiring harness needed for an aftermarket head unit.

     

    I have a 2010 Journey SXT, without steering wheel controls and an REQ radio.  I'm getting mixed messages if i need a canbus module, even though there is no external amp.  Some suggest canbus is needed to control turning the radio on and off.

     

    Crutchfield wants to sell me a PAC C2R-CHY4 Wiring Interface, which includes a "radio replacement module".  Has a bunch of stuff.  But i don't know if i need all that.

     

    Metra has a simpler wiring harness for $20.  

     

    But i'm reading that without a canbus module the lights won't work right on the radio, nor will it shut off when you turn off the ignition.  Not sure what to believe.

  2. I am looking for a head unit to replace my RES factory model.  Cany anyone suggest a third party unit (price is not a huge concern).

     

    My factory unit does not have backup camera, or nav, but does have serius with a roof antenna.  So i guess that's an RES unit.  It does not have uconnect installed.

     

    I'm looking to add a backup camera, NAV, and primarily apple car play.  Might be nice to have other features, but those are the ones i care about.  Any thoughts?
