I am in same boat - shopped around on eBay - cheapest is $400 from china & they told me u can't connect back up cam to turn on automatically when shift into reverse. Next best one is from Canada for $700 & they claim its plug & play including sync & will work back up cam - but the bezel looks terrible in gloss black only - last I checked the oem ones on eBay @ $1500 ! They hav proper colors & can make everything work like factory if u give them ur VIN to upload into unit. All three come with free nav maps ( the oem one is updated yearly for a fee) -
Panasonic makes nice aftermarket units for 5-700. I looked into those 400$ chinaman specials but everyone was complaining about different issues. I would stay away from those. I'm guessing that I will be buying a Panasonic after the 1st of the year.

Then we wouldn't hav to throw out a perfectly good component- I don't care about nav but would like the big screen for the cam-

Its simple ....
I can almost guarantee you that if that is on Ebay its not the factory OEM unit for 200.00 , there are a ton of China made touch screens that say they are oem and really are not ... Unless you found one from a wrecking yard or somebody actually took theirs out of their truck for something else I could see you picking one up for around 4-500 , normally when the oem units are on ebay they are over a grand ... All that said they are super easy to install , there are plenty of you tube videos on how to do the job ... It takes me about 5-10 min to take out the oem deck and the same to install the new one ... plug n play makes things so easy anyone can do it ...
