I hope that $240 was for plug an play. Dom's Unit with GroupBuy or even Blackmarket is about $100-125 plus $100 more for plug an play. Yes i got DVD installed (did it myself).The picture are Very GooD. Next you have to go buy blitzesafe that plug into back of radio DON"T buy FM module waste of MONEY an sound sucks....

Here some link to Help you out.
Installed Dom unit

Blitzsafe
Search around you can find them for 70 or less on different website.

GOOD LUCKY with your MODs

Cool coil cord for radar

Just wanted to add my 2 cents, I HARD WIRED my radar detector to the fuse box inside the door (left side of dash) and is mounted in the driver side corner of my glass. Looks real clean and I still have an available power outlet

I just ordered my Camera, its suppose to have night vision so we'll see when I get it on Tuesday. But my question is is there a way to bypass the rear view coming on on in reverse mode to having a switch and having the option to turn on the rear view camera whenever I want??? As soon as I install my stuff I will have pics for you guys.

Did you use a "mini add-a-fuse" into your fusebox?....I did...works out really well.

I have come across several backup cameras on Ebay... which camera provides the best quality for the money, and that also provides good night vision? I'm willing to pay for a quality product. Thanks!
