I have a 2008 RAV4 base model that I'm considering replacing the stereo on. I would probably get an aftermarket one with built-in GPS, Bluetooth, etc. I'd also want a backup camera connected to it. My question is, since I have a base model, would I still be able to get the same functionality as if all those features had been installed at the factory? For instance, if I switch to reverse, would the backup camera automatically come on? Ideally, it'd be nice to have that, as well as the volume buttons on my steering wheel, but I'm not sure how that could be done without either a lot of expense or making it look hideous.
I love my RAV4 and I'd like to drive it until the wheels fall off. But if I want these features, I wonder if the expense of adding them would be worth it or if I should just trade mine in and get a different model.
