I wouldn't mind a back up camera. I live in a busy downtown area, and often avoid it because backing up is not only a risk, but usually a nightmare. And XM/Sirius would be a nice choice to choose. I use my own data to stream Google Play music.

I finally got around to filling up a flash drive with my favorite digital music for my daily commute. I set it on random play and go. It's nice having no radio commercials or talking heads for a change - though station FM 100.7 here in Phoenix does play excellent music (classic rock) when not doing those things.

The flash drive works great, though it didn't on the first try. It was pre-formatted in the Microsoft NTFS file format when I first loaded it up, and wasn't readable by the stereo head unit. Once I reformatted it with the traditional FAT32 file system, and reloaded the music files back on it, it worked perfectly.

I just added an aftermarket head unit and a backup cam to mine. Displays the camera on the head unit when I shift into reverse. Works great! Costs about $300 to do the whole thing if you are interested in it.
