Stereo head unit questions please help.

Im getting ready to purchase a Kenwood GPS H/U and the mastero interface as well to maintain steering wheel controls especially. For you all that have installed a GPS H/U where have you mounted the gps antenna? I've read that it can be mounted underneath the center of the dash tray and supposedly works pretty well there.
Lastly I would love a little info or wiring diagram for re-wiring the factory backup camera to the new H/U for a 2012..i understand the harness is accessed under the driver kick panel left of the parking brake. Supposedly wire color varies by year if I understand correctly?

when u do to aftermarket radio you have to use the Idatalink Maestro RR or RR2, I have the big JVC KW-Z100W in my 2012 F150 Platinum, and to retrain the factory functions of the display your talking about you, did you happen to use anything to interface the new radio to the truck? its weird.... I would think it would still show fan speed and ext. temp.
