A quick Heads Up if you need to tap into the reverse light power (for rear camera power).
It took me ages to find it as it is hidden between the outer steel panel and inner steel panel (drivers side) near the seat belt reel in the cargo area which I removed for easy access.
The cable also changes colour at the connector between the bulb and the rear light cluster loom that heads back to the front of the vehicle!
I used a wiretap to hook into the reverse light power cable See figure 4 on this site http://www.narva.com.au/products/bro...inerswire-taps Just ensure the tap closes tightly and the clip is secure....I had this issue and thought the camera was a dud!
Good luck with the install

I bought one of these units from a fellow forumite EXTNIX, an ex-demo unit of his.
Installation was relatively straightforward, with the correct tools for pulling apart the dash.
Observations:
software is a little clunky
it doesn't download a phone book
the Bluetooth mic is inbuilt only
ipod cable doesn't charge
software for reading the SD card is dreadful
GPS seems to take a long time to find satellites & lock, but seems to keep the lock OK
mine came with a CANbus adaptor that supplies the "ACC" signal, which would reset when turning the engine off, causing the unit to reset and kick me out of OziExplorer. I re-wired it to provide a hardwired "ACC" signal, and it now hangs on to Ozi when I turn the engine off, and re-start again.
I managed to integrate the factory camera, but only because I'm a glutton for punishment. It works acceptably, but I probably would've been better off installing the separate camera.
There's another version floating around with what looks like better software.
