Upgrading radio / infotainment
Hey all,
I'm looking to upgrade the stock radio on my '10 LS to a touchscreen display with bluetooth audio, nav, backup camera and hopefully but not necessarily android auto.
After researching it and the different options/avenues, it seems a bit complex. I wanted to inquire, those who have done this before, on what avenue /option is best and what obstacles might be encountered;
Of course I expect it to cost at least a few hundred dollars, but I encountered a choice that was 1.5k!
Specifically that would be for a new GM mylink equipped radio touchscreen. This is the most desirable option for me - but I can't do the 1.5K!
So I figured these units have to be selling used somewhere for much less right?
I found some used ones listed on this parts website, but it is confusing as there are different options of the mylink radios, like UFU / UFW / UFY.

The first one (UFU) seems to have navigation too, so that makes sense to differentiate it from the other options but I can't tell the difference between the other two.
Also, these are for a 2013 camaro technically, I figure since the interior is the same, it should fit right? I know there is some programming obstacle where the radios will lock, and need to be 'reprogrammed'?
Finally, I assume that nav and some other features won't work if the car is missing other components; like for nav, it would need a GPS device installed like in the shark fin, correct? What about for bluetooth, or heated seats?
