Just bought my newly-licensed stepdaughter her first car, a 2015 Leaf S. Because I don't want her to be tempted to fool around with her phone whilst driving, I want to replace the factory radio with one that has Android Auto. Her mother insists that we preserve the backup camera, which is fair. I want to retain the steering wheel controls to reduce the need to touch the phone when changing songs, etc. All 3 of us want to retain Bluetooth hands-free for phone calls, although I personally don't care if we use the factory mic or a third-party unit.
I've installed maybe a dozen car stereos, so I am comfortable soldering, removing trim, etc. However, most of them have either been in cars where there were no existing systems to integrate with (e.g. a 2010 Altima that didn't have a backup camera) or plug-and-play using off-the-shelf parts from Crutchfield. I'd appreciate some guidance on what, exactly, I need to mate a reasonable Android Auto-capable receiver to the SWC, backup camera, and/or Bluetooth in the car; Crutchfield only offers a harness for the SWC (a Crux SWRNS-63U is their suggestion).
Thanks!
