Replace Head Unit

I want to replace the head unit in my 2015 BRZ, and I'd like to add a backup camera too.

I really love this car, but the head unit is so lame. Any recommendations for a good replacement?

Wow, tough crowd. I'd be happy to post in a more appropriate location. I thought this was a pretty general BRZ question. Where should it be?

Mods? can you please move this?

But as others have said this has been covered in depth.

And just my .02 Kenwood is Dope

When I was shopping around the Kenwood was in the lead for what I was thinking. I then just got used to what I had and never changed it.

My car came with the OEM sound system, backup camera, and the stock head unit. It sounded awful so I got the Kenwood DDX9703S. It does need the side spacers and the look doesn't bother me. The screen is better and with the OEM amp tuned by OEM, the car sounds like I'm in the sound studio. I would have gotten the DDX916WS to fit everything perfectly, but I heard it has signal format issues since it's from the Indonesian area market (ie. radio and Sirrius might not work properly).
