Backup camera & GPS recommendations
I've '07 GX Base model without a GPS or a camera. Need recommendations for aftermarket backup camera. And if it comes with a GPS too, great! 
Is there a good quality 2x1 product available? IF no, then the priority would be to get a backup camera first since I'm planning to give it to my teenager daughter.
Thanks!

I'm in the same boat as you- have been doing a fair bit of research myself. I always install these things myself so I normally have to put together a long list 'o parts.
There are tons of good quality double-DIN head units with built-in bluetooth, GPS, USB, HD radio, Sirius XM [some will come with a receiver, some are just SiriusXM "ready"], iPhone/Android/Pandora/iHeartRadio, multi-camera (including backup camera), using factory amp and steering wheel controls...it's just a matter of going to a website and telling it what you want (Best Buy/Crutchfield/countless others). Are you looking for a specific unit recommendation (IMO they are pretty much ubiquitous, unless you get into weird direct-from-China eBay stuff or high end stuff)...or are you planning to install this yourself (do you need recommendations for wiring harnesses/adapters + replacement bezel)?

My GX came with nav/cam, but on my pickup truck I use this camera:

With this nav receiver:
It's a decent setup at a reasonable cost. If you prefer to use android auto instead, pioneer frequently has sales on their receivers, and I would go that route instead of the Jensen. I didn't go that route because I'm a mountain guy and I rarely have cell service when driving, so navigating via android auto is a major pain.
