I was under the impression that there would be T's on the vim harness for the back up camera power source. reinstalling the stereo with the factory ipod harness was definitely a challenge.
everything works very smoothly, the module really is well worth the money. I used to be an installer for the high end car multimedia industry and I must say this is a fantastic module, very easy to install and the casing is definitely not an afterthought. Only thing I would recommend is for some bullet style leads for the power and ground for easy connectivity between the back up camera (or other stuff) and the VIM to make it a complete plug and play unit.
I really look forward to the new ipod interface. my wife and i were utterly disappointed at the one we currently have. hopefully the new module uses the same plugs as the current module, that way i wouldn't have to remove the command center again. |
How difficult was it to install the back up cam? Was there any cutting or drilling required?
