Got my CX-5 yesterday.... time to upgrade the radio/sound. I'm looking at using the headunit's built in amp as I don't really want to mess with external amps.

From my reading, it seems like you can't keep factory aux or USB without physically hacking the plug itself? Also, any recommendations on rear view cameras?
