I also looked at the install instructions for the backup camera as you suggested above. I still have a problem about dismantling half the truck to run the wires into the cab.
I had an idea about running the wires inside the bed, along the underside of the RETRAX rails (ordering the cover soon) and mounting the Notification Display unit onto the bottom of the RETRAX cover canister near to the rear-sliding window.
Can you tell me how loud the warning buzzer is? Do you think I'd be able to hear it from inside the cab with or without opening the rear window?

No shortcomings other than the enherent differences bewteen radar & ultrasonic as noted above in the 1st message, works just as advertised with excellent coverage and not one false alarm.
The beep volume is not loud like Honda's sensors, just perfect I'd say, so you will have to mount it inside the cabin, I don't think you'd hear it if mounted outside.
Installation for this or the backup camera looks overwhelming but it's really not that difficult. It just takes a long time is all. If you follow the camera directions, my shortcut notes for the camera install (link below) and take your time you should not encounter much difficulty. I think the foglight install was the most difficult of all of them, this one took longer but was easier.
