Default Upgrade stereo head

So I am fairly new to this whole thing, I have an 08 rubicon unlimited that I just picked up. THe stereo in it is the stock one with U connect but no nav, touch screen , or back up camera. So I picked up a factory unit with nav, touch screen, Bluetooth, sat, etc, out of an 08 commander. I also bought an eway back up camera that I would like to hook up to the new unit also. Is this a plug and play set up or am I out of my mind? Top photo is what I want to install and bottom is what is in it now. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Following....every now and again I get the itch for a touch screen to rejuvenate the old jeep and a backup camera would be nice on the trail so I stop taking out my license plates

I did the 11.1 inch Android tablet in my previous 2013 JK Sport. Was an AWESOME stereo for $200 came with a backup camera as well. Mine came with a gps antenna, would run google maps, or any android app I wanted. I used a bluetooth OBD to send the data to the torque pro app on it so you could see all your engine data on the monitor. I enjoyed that display so much I'm thinking of putting something similar in my Rubi.

So after doing some more digging, it looks like since I already have Uconnect, Sat radio, in my jeep already. It looks like all I will need a Nav antenna to get the Nav function to work with this 730n head unit. I bought a back up camera to hook up to it, and just ordered the Nav. Antenna. Is there anything else I might be missing here. I am looking for sat radio, Nav functions, back up camera, am/fm, Bluetooth, with his unit.

Just ordered this Nav antenna
