Turns out the single din head unit already has bluetooth and is linked to the steering controls. I'll check that out but plan to look into the info on the back up camera. The head unit does not support that option:

I plan to go speak to my local auto audio install store and see if this camera will work with current double din head units. If it does it would be a great option. I'd be able to install myself and then get the new head unit installed. Like the US we get (slightly) better deals at Black Friday/Cyber Monday and also at Christmas/New Year. I'll let you know how it goes!

This shop already fitted remote start on 2 of our cars as well as the Sony head unit and back up camera on my 03 Toyota.

Inquiring minds want to know!

I’m keeping my eyes open for a nice set of lower profile S60 mirrors as I just don’t like the XC70 big truck mirrors.
Still a classic….

you can add rear sensors from car years upto 2004 i believe without connecting canbus, its just +pos and -neg connections, if you want factory factory then the dealer i think it is.

Thanks. I'm thinking if I go down that route for rear viewing/sensors, I will go with the back up camera option.
