Couple questions...
Was there not a factory backup camera plug in the dash that would hookup to the factory NAV with backup camera option where you could hook into for the Alpine unit instead of using the one in the overhead? From what I have gathered from this forum, all the wiring for all accessories are pre-installed by Toyota so I would think that it would be back there???

The factory nav is a factory option because it uses a different harness. It seems there are three different styles. Check this thread:

Second, I have looked for a permanent mount GPS antenna without luck, even searching your part numbers... is this item still available?

Check with a local Motorola Two-Way radio dealer. This sort of stuff is not typically available on-line.

Third, I am considering the Blackbird PMD-B200 as my navigation system for a couple reasons, double duty portable GPS and plug in to the W205 and you now have on board NAV and it also comes with factory bluetooth, plus it is about $1000 cheaper than the DVD NAV system. Did you consider this at all and if you did what made you go with the DVD NAV?
Thanks in advance...

There are a few reasons actually.
First off, I do not trust "quick connect" type devices. It is my experience that they break far too easily when docking and undocking. Also, with time the connections get sloppy resulting in intermittant operation.
Secondly, I was told the N872 has more advanced features and I'm a sucker for gadgets.
Unfortunately, I live so far north that the maps are sadly out of date. The "advanced features" only work if the device has detailed information about your location. So I mainly use my fancy navigation system as a scrolling map whose roads often end before you reach the end of them. I understand this is a problem with all of these things. It will be helpful when I go to the bigger cities.
Anyhow, I understand the B200 is not shipping yet. It is in limbo with my SPX17PROs
