Lookin.......sorry, forgot about checking on the model number. I thought I was leaving something out, just couldn't figure out what it was. As for the USB........the iPhone does charge when it's plugged in. The functionality is identical to what you would have using the USB, to the best of my knowledge. In fact, I think the Kenwood screen give you more functionality that what you would get with the standard system. The phone buttons on the steering wheel seemed like a big deal at first, but after using it a few times, it isn't that big of a deal.

yeah i figure it would kenwood is great its what i was going to install but because the way they had the buttons in which everything had to be removed i didnt like the plain look so i waited, thought suzuki woulda done a much better job making the dash look more polished but i guess you are happy with it and realistically speaking everyone dont want navigation but for those who do the plain look might be a turn off and suzuki has to be competitive with the market i would like them to succeed to get the sales they have to wow people...which i think the nice clean look of interior was doing....this how it is for early adopters though...overall i love the car just a bump for me i guess..i happen to think the interior of a car is a big selling point...ohhh i know im bothering you but does it have the back up camera

I got a picture from a dealer and hope to buy the SLS tomorrow with a friend, along with his GTS AWD in Platinum Silver. I guess it doesn't have the backup camera?

The plan was for the backup camera to come with the navi. So I would think the backup camera can be displayed on the navi screen. You'll have to let me know though Suzuki hasn't exactly been solid on the Navi suff.

The supplied Kenwood unit has backup cam capability and the trunk lid of the car has a spot for it. I would assume the factory wiring harness includes the wiring for it since the camera is mentioned in the brochures. With the reverse sensors on the SLS, I've found that I really don't miss the camera (last two cars had them).
