anybody have any experience with this?

I did a little research on it, but can't find answers to some specific issues, namely...

Backup camera. How can I set this up so it comes on when I put the car in reverse?

Do I have to tether it to a full size radio? You would think these days there would be a small receiver that could be mounted somewhere, and maybe a small Bluetooth volume knob/skip button mounted into the center console.

I have an app radio 4 and it leaves much to be desired. I can't run dash command on it, nor can I run Waze - which were the two main apps I wanted the unit for. Also the CarPlay interface isn't where it should be, IMO.

I'd much rather have a removable LTE iPad mini mounted in place if the HVAC controls and the vents.
