Subject: Well, we all had the TV tuner already. So, adding the backup Author: sealbeach740 : member since January, 2004 : 7584 posts Posted on: 2004-08-10 10:57:16

camera was only $115 (shipped and including the relay + wire + connectors). We did this at my house in........you guessed it, Seal Beach, Ca.! Allan, Erik, Manith and I are all SoCal7s members, so it was just friends helping friends. Once the wiring was figured out, and how to get from the hole in the bumper to the inside of the trunk (thanks to Dave Clement, plus his other help/advice), the rest wasn't all that difficult.
