Here's some info on a radio upgrade if you're interested. I swaped out the stock 130 RES to a 730N RHR with Nav, Uconnect, Satellite and a rear camera. It was a pretty easy swap.
It was ALL plug and play. As long as you already have the satellite antenna its pretty easy. I went to Harbor Freight tools and bought a dash removal kit for $5. There was three screws to remove on the dash (a couple more if you have the center console) then you pop the dash off. There are four screws holding the radio in. Remove those and the radio slides right out. Unplug the factory wiring harness, the FM antenna and the satellite antenna. Plug it all back into the new radio and slide it back in place. The lockpick just plugs right in too. No wires to cut. Then the rear camera power, ground and video feed plugs right into the lockpick. The only thing I had to do was extend the power and ground wire on the camera. If you dont have the lockpick, I think you would find a power and ground at the rear of the truck and tap into those but with the lockpick you run those wire right to it so you need to extend them. Very easy to do. The hardest part was climbing under the truck and zip tying the wires along the brake line to the front of the truck. Once you do that, you have to find the plastic cap that covers the hole on the firewall for a clutch if you had a standard tranny. I removed that cap(two bolts), drilled a small hole in it and fed the wires through that and into the cab. Then I just used a little silicone to fill the hole. I also mounted the camera into the tailgate handle where the factory camera would go. It looks identical to the factory setup. The camera I bought came with the drill bit to cut the correct size hole in the tailgate handle. Once it was all in, I turned the truck on and everything worked perfectly. With this set up, you don't need the dealer to flash the computer for the camera to work either. And with the lockpick, you get a bunch more benefits too like the ability to add front and side cams (up to four I think), video IN feeds for anything you want like an Iphone video cable or even an xbox. You get video OUT feeds to if you want to add headrest monitors. Its a pretty cool little device. The only thing I would warn you about is the lockpick CHR 550 apparently has a few "bug" issues according to the guy I spoke to. He recommended going with the new V4 model. I guess its a little more stabile. It lacks a little of the Iphone integration that the CHR550 has but I didn't want any problems. My Iphone still works great with the V4. All in all, it was a pretty easy install. Just set aside a couple of hours, take your time and you'll be fine. I'm no mechanic nor do I have a lot of electrical experience and even I found it to be pretty easy. I do have some pics that I can post if it will help. If you plan on doing it, I think you will find that oemautopartsco.com is the best place to use. There is a guy there named Doug. He is very knowledgable about these systems and can answer any questions.
