2017 Dynamax DX3 Navigation and Stereo Upgrades

Hi All, Getting ready to finalize a purchase for a 2017 Dynamax DX3 37BH. We are super excited and looking at upgrading the stereo system and navigation. We are currently driving a 91 Suburban pulling a toy hauler and are using Android Auto which works great. We are also using a Furrion Vision S7 Camera system which suction cups to the windshield. I love maneuvering with this setup and now I am starting to think about how that will translate into the DX3.
I've read about some upgrading to a Kenwood deck and others are adding in external monitor for the cameras. I wanted to get a 2/23/20 update on what might work best for us. Ideally I like to have an external camera monitor for one. Any suggestions? Secondly I am not sure if the default stereo has Android auto so if it doesn't I like to upgrade it for an android auto version so I can do the music and secondary navigation (Waze or GMaps). Lastly we were thinking about going with a Garmin RV770 for the primary navigation. I like the idea of having lane change warning with the built in camera. Of course I have no idea how well it works but it sounds great on paper. Are we better just going with the Kenwood DNX775RVS or does the RV770 work as advertised? Any other options we are not seeing?

On another note does anyone have a solution for video recording while driving? I am thinking of recording in-cab and in front but recording all of the cameras would be a huge bonus.

I should have mentioned that I would prefer to have all cameras show up on a single display instead of auto connecting when a turn signal is activated.

1. There is already a thread dedicated to the bad view camera (sides, horizon, hitch view all at once). https://www.forestriverforums.com/fo...or-199544.html How to do it and what they are doing to get it done.

2. The Kenwood comes with the option for a forward mounted DVR...plug and play.

3. The Kenwood comes with Apple CaPlay and Android auto. If you google the current version you will likely find lots of reviews on it.

Thank you. I am going with the Kenwood. I had a question from a guy that is going to put in the MobileEye for us. Are the cameras for the 2017 DX3 NTSC or PAL?

Mobile eye has their own camera that they mount....so not sure why they want to know ours? (which I don't know, but might be able to look up). Just seems like an odd question since they install Mobileye here and don't tie into our stuff.

What we use today is Convoy Sideview Sony CCD. That's all they give me. Not sure when we changed to that.

I am having him upgrade to an external monitor and he wanted to verify that the signal is ntsc. I am betting it's a ntsc but wanted to verify.

I decided to do stereo upgrade myself. The stereo install went great but I am all confused on the cameras. I see 3 RCA jacks and 2 4 pin connectors coming out from behind the stereo. I know the previous owner added a horse trailer camera system so I am not sure if the 2 - 4 pin connectors are the factory cameras or if the RCA jacks are the factory cameras. If the RCA jacks are then how do the cameras get power? I must be missing something because I don't see any other cables coming out. Anyone shed light for me on the camera wires?
