here is some pics of my valor nvg-670wt install unit has navigation,radio,cd,dvd,tv,ipod,bluetooth,xm radio,rearview camera IR night vision and back seat roof mount monitor i mounted the camera with a heavy duty suction cup mount inside on the back window less chance of it being stolen
the camera has like 27 led's for night vision so when i back up at night i just slide the rear center window open about 5" and i get no glare from the lights in the daytime i don't have to open the window at all the system works great works great

Very nice. When I trade my Ridgeline for a new one I will probably have a custom install instead of the factory.
Why did you choose that position for the back up camera? It appears the view is no better than what you would see looking back there. I intentionally mounted my camera so I could see the edge of the rear bumper. This ensures that I can get within inches without bumping anything and it makes hooking up a trailer solo a cinch. Your set up is better for keeping an eye on whatever you may be hauling. Can you switch to rear view while driving?

i mounted the camera in that position because i wanted a wide angle view of both corners of the back of the truck this view works real well when backing into parking spaces in store parking lots and also i have a 18 foot bayliner boat and this view gives me a much better view of the sides of the boat also i like the fact that the camera is locked inside the truck out of the elements when backing up im a good judge of the distance from my rear bumper to whatever is behind me so this set up is better for me plus the camera believe it or not came with 65 feet yes 65 feet of wire so i can pretty much put it wherever i want on the truck and yes it can be wire to view the camera while driving

One last question, where did you buy/order from? Went to the website and they have no local dealers. I tried to send an email and it got bounced. Guess i will have to call.
