I think we may see that option go away in the next couple of years thanks to the backup camera mandate (which goes into effect in 2018). Once automakers are putting the screen in the car anyway, basic head units are probably going to go away.

My RAV4 and my wife's Outback both have backup cameras, and the display is inset in the rear view mirror.

A much better system, IMHO, and doesn't mandate a nav system style screen.
