Thanks it was just a change tray I never used and it's really not that out of the way to see while looking at the rear view mirror. I still need to clean up the double sided tape on the edges and for $40. It's complete.

How did you wire the ipod as a monitor?

I had the plate camera and didnt like the look so I just put mine in the tailgate and love the look. I have trailer breaks so I put it on the right side and it's not bad had to do a little cutting behind the dash. Glad to see this page and helped me see how easy it was. Didn't have to buy an adapter for the rca cord. had just enough to fit with about 3 inches to spare.

All my pics look identical to yours, lol. I do have a question though. I've noticed that every time I put the truck in reverse for the first time after it has been running, the picture quality is horrible. So I shift out of reverse to power off, then back to reverse to power back on. Then it looks perfect and the quality is very clear and crisp. I have to do this every time I need to use the monitor. Have you experienced this and what do you think the problem is?
. As I said earlier, mine is working great ......even in crap weather

I have had no issues like that whatsoever.
Wish I could give you some insight.
Try turning your truck 'On' only, not started and shift into reverse to see if same thing happens. Just wondering if same thing without engine running.
BTW, are you using I/P 1 or I/P 2 on your monitor???
