[QUOTE="Shaker1, post: 16193021, member: 4863"] Thanks for the additional replies. Shopping around, the best price on the HU I could find (Ebay) was only $5 cheaper than Crutchfield. But the install accessories were deeply discounted if buying a HU from Crutchfield, so (along with Crutchfield's customer service and return policy) it worked out pretty good. What I bought: DMH-C2550NEX, PAC C2R-FRD1, Boyo VTL17ir, Micro Bypass, plus antennae adapter and bezel kit. The PAC C2R-FRD1 is an absolute necessity for CANBUS and makes install a breeze, including parking brake, illumination, reverse trigger, amp turn on and a couple features our cars do not have (pwr ant, SWC). No tapping wires in the car's harness. And since the camera's video cable has a power wire attached, it can be used to power the camera when in reverse or manually when desired from the head unit, via the +12v accessory lead at the Pioneer harness, without tapping into the backup lights. I haven't done the actual install yet, but it looks like the trickiest part will be running the camera cable to the rear. Hoping to go under the carpet from the console area along the driveshaft hump, then follow the tailight harness to the rear. The entire harness will be assembled on the bench with an insulated female/male butt connect at the cameras power wire (both ends) to make the whole assembly plug and play, for easy service and removal. I've opted to install the camera without the plate bracket and offset to not interfere with the license plate light. We shall see how that goes. The Boyo comes with a lip mount bracket too and I expect some 3M exterior mounting tape will get the job done, so I don't have to drill the bumper, except the cable hole. Here is a wiring document I created from the various install documents (no warranty implied, YMMV): [/QUOTE]
