Default C70 Upgrades

I have a 2002 C70 convertible with less than 50,000 miles. Is it a big deal to get upgrades from my Volvo dealer such as a backup camera and an in-dash GPS system by putting in a new dashboard or some other solution?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have a '04 C70 HPT. I replaced the factory radio with a Pioneer AVHP2300DVD 5.8" Widescreen Touch Display in Dash DVD Receiver and a 800 watt Pioneer amp. The amp was required because of the lack of aftermarket wiring harness. The Pioneer amp fit exactly into the space as the factory amp. I lost the Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound (center speaker on the dash) but I don't miss it. My turn key price at custom installer was $1K. In the spring I'm going to have installed the backup camera and bluetooth module. I'm probably going to install aftermarket sway bars in the spring, too.

Thanks, LL, for telling me about your experience. Sounds like I have a chance at getting the camera and in-dash GPS. I'll check around.
