    You want tight? Throw in a Sirius box too!

    I tucked that behind the gauges.

    WIRELESS BACKUP CAMERA

    I saw a unit that has a wireless backup camera setup....sounds good if it works....ofcourse it eliminates running a wire from the rear bumper...
    Anyone have any experience with one of these??? There are also some cheap units from China that have dual core processors and windows 8 or 10..Full laptop computer capabilities....Anyone try one of these???
    check this out.....http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-4-4-...IAAOSwEppUP4DQ built in WIFI

    or this....http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Inclu.../dp/B00T5J23RA

    Usually it's just grounding one of the wires so the unit thinks the parking brake is on.
    Thanks Jim!!!

    I found a pre-done hack on eBay and ordered it!

    I bought the Absolute cam 470 and mounted it in the trunk key hole. Unfortunately it quit working a year later..

    Live feed burnouts were always a trip!

    I would highly suggest a Kenwood or JVC unit for a few more dollars.

    For some reason the 9384 the one you show,sonic says it will NOT fit...The one I picked 9386 they say WILL fit...I like your pick better #1 price,#2 more power 80w@4channels vs
    ..I think it's 50w@4 channels..http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...-BV9386NV.html..and the dash kit,harness and antenna adapter are $9.95....They pair it up with the car...On second look,same wattage...

    Thanks for saving me $25..I'll look at the dimensions of each and see if there is a difference... .Probably let Best Buy install it for $100...I'll put the wireless backup camera in...
    I cannot find the difference between the two.....variable color is the only one I see....The fitment thing bothers me....They both come with harnesses....do I still need to order a specific one???

    I was going to install my rear camera in the spoiler but the keyhole was more stealthy.

    Yeah, that's where I put mine. Only issue I never thought of was the off center viewing. But after a couple weeks I had no problem backing into my tight 100'+ driveway quickly at night. It looks right at home in the key recess.

    Any double DIN will fit.
