Got a great deal on the car, but the only thing I felt was missing and desperately wanted was a rear view camera.
So after copious amounts of research, I came across the online retailer carsgadget.com from their install video on youtube which can be seen here: https://www.youtube....h?v=TlAjnSj18iw
The kit was a bit pricey at $325. There are a lot of cheaper options which may be identical on ebay for example that are from China, but I just felt more comfortable with this site b/c the guy is in California. The kit included everything I needed, was plug and play (required zero modifications/cutting/wire tapping), has functioning active steering lines, he shipped Priority-Mail so it only took 2 days to get here. After I made the paypal payment, he also emailed me a .pdf of the instructions.
As a testimonial of the seller/website, I had some confusion on how to connect the power wire to the fuse box, and he promptly and politely replied to the several emails I sent him trying to troubleshoot the issue.
The whole install took about 5 hours total, with the majority of the time consisting of disassembling and reassembling the display, glove box, and trunk panels.
As a DIY, I would rate this job a 7/10 in difficulty. Not for the squeamish, but if you've ever installed your own head unit, then you should be comfortable doing it.
