If you have an iPhone what is the best HU?

Like the title says, I'm trying to figure out which HU is best for someone with an iPhone 5? I currently have the stock pioneer and I love the Bluetooth, but I want a backup camera and navigation. Any input would be great!

Should I just get the bespoke an call it good?

I love Alpine HU. Never had an issue with any of my iPods or iPhones with Alpine HU's. currently have the iPhone 5 and iPod Classic working great with the INE-S920HD.

If you want iPhone app integration, look at the AVH-X5500BHS.

I just installed this exact unit about a month ago and I love it. Have yet to add the rear view camera, but I'm sure it will work really well also. If you have any questions about it let me know..

Awesome! I installed it last week and love it so far. Still getting used to the controls, and i think i'll like it a lot more once the iphone 5 cable is released so i can stop using my old iphone 4 with it.

I've been waiting for my OEM Audio Plus kit to come in. I've already mounted my backup camera, I'm going to run the wires for it along the OEM Audio Plus harness to keep everything nice and tidy.

Here's a pic of it:

Do you have a pic of how the screen looks with the rear view camera on? I'd like to compare a few different camera units before I decide on one.

Not at the moment. My OEM Audio Plus system will be arriving Monday so I should have it wired up sometime around then, maybe before even.
