EDIT NOTE: This is a really good stereo for the price. I had some issues with it, but I have since solved them. Read through the whole thread to see the fixes. Short answer - I did not wire the 12volt wire into switched power originally - once I did, that fixed the battery drain and the GPS resets as well.
I installed a Chinese "Isudar" ISD-V001N Stereo and backup camera. It absolutely crushes the stock system (RCD-310)
I first wrote about it in this thread:

Stereo: $156.00 USD
Tailgate Handle Backup Camera: $22.00 USD
Features: Navigation (GPS), Bluetooth, CAN-Bus support, engine info on Stereo, DVD playback, automatic reverse detection for camera, direct control from steering wheel buttons, alternative video input (so I can hook up my Raspberry Pi!)
It does NOT support:
Satellite Radio
HD Radio
I have had issues with the iGo8 GPS system causing the head unit to crash and reboot - but I am certain I can solve this problem. How do I know? I have a similar WinCE head unit in my other vehicle, and it has less RAM in it - I hacked the iGO8 software to a lower setting, and the crashes stopped. I will have to do the same to this one and post the configs here.
Some generic photos (not mine):
Here is a video that first pointed it out to me after I started researching it. (Video is in Russian)

I will be adding some pictures and videos in this thread of what it is and how it works - probably some YouTube videos as well.
Where I bought it:
Stereo:

Camera:

Adapter:

You may or may not need the radio adapter. I installed without it, but realized I need it after the install. Still works, but the adapter is specifically for some VW stereos setups like my RCD310. I just received the radio adapter, I will install it and add the details to this thread.
Install was surprisingly easy. Ripping apart the roof to route the backup camera wasn't.
