Talking 2012 GL 450 Radio Upgrade

Hello All,
Has anyone replaced the factory radio with a aftermarket radio? I have been having one heck of a time getting this task completed. I hav been chasing the correct parts needed down like Pokémon's. I think I have finally gotten everything that I need. My question is has anyone been successful with an upgrade with this year and model? If so were you able to retain your use of your factory back up camera? I have the Harman Kardon system in my truck.
Thank in advance

Yes, I have done it in 2007 but I had to splice and take out rear camera signal cables. I believe in your model, there's a plug on back of unit and you just use an adapter.

You can search this forum, there's plenty of information. FM radio signal is the most troublesome issue but people have solved it getting it from satellite radio tuner.
