that one is nice, but this one was the cheapest I could find at the time that did what I wanted it to do, mainly for the dvd player. I have a 1 year old that without is very restless in the car especially on a 15 hour drive.

Just wire it up yourself. I've got the same HU Btw.

From my many times or taking it out of the dash and putting it all back in you will need to wire the green wire (parking brake) to the black wire I believe, threw a momentary switch, just a push button swith pretty much. I mounted my switch in the bottom left corner of the storage trey on the top of the dash, it's hidden to keep it clean looking.

If you go into the options menu you can change to background and adjust the dimness to where it looks nearly black, much better than the cross gride IMO.

Let me know if you get a backup camera and what kind. I'm always thinking of getting one with all my tint.

Thanx, I'll try that this weekend when I got more time to work on it, and as far as the camera goes, I'll let you know what I find.
