Looking for a 1-din head unit with a retractable screen.

the screen must be retractable. I do not want to see it all the time, only when I need navigation.

need true satellite navigation, AM/FM/Satellite radio.

would like hands-free for phone calls.

most of the new head units rely on android play or apple play connection. however many of the places I drive to does not have cell service. so the navigation needs to be satellite (garmin).

the old KVT product from Kenwood would have worked, however the last of the ones I liked were discontinued years ago.

was looking at secret audio or hidden audio, however none have navigation, nor do they take camera inputs. Need the camera inputs as I will be adding front and rear cameras to avoid parking lot bump stops when the wife drives it.

alternately, I am looking at hiding a remote screen behind a flip-down cover on top the dash and driving the screen in/out with a small servo. in that case, it will most likely be a wet-sounds meridian system tied in with a garmin screen and a custom splash

any and all suggestions welcome

You get this figured out would be great. Love my Garmin but no interface with everything else, and OEM is a crap shoot

Probably looked at it is the Garmin DriveCam 76 with front and rear cams

Checks most of the boxes but not all

Wonder if contacting Garmin would gain any further insight?
