I put my camera under the bumper instead of screw into the bumper. ALso I dremel'd off the brackets on the side, and used Body shop grade 3M double sided tape, and just stuck it on a tab on the under side.

GREAT job. I'm glad the install went good and everything working properly. I'm not so sure about the location of the camera but Function > appearance. As long as it works and you're happy, that's all it matters.

Did you run the GPS antenna on the right side because you took out the glove box to route it, and then took out the dash speaker to route the antenna up?

hey AK & big. I didn't see an answer in the thread about this (sorry if I overlooked it). I just picked up the 6140 as well, like many others who have followed your set up :tup:

Anyway, before i start taking apart the inside, I wanted to see if you ran the gps antenna wire behind / between the dash and the front windshield? Or is it just along the crevice up the side by the door? Trying to figure out if I'll have to take off the whole dash to get it up there / dremmel some space for it.

Same question about your microphone wire, did you pull off the piller cover and stick it back there, or is it just tucked in to the crevice to go down and under the steering wheel area?

pull your weather stripping back from the side that runs from the dash and the door run it threw there. and use a butter knife wrapped with tape and push the wire down in the crevice where the tweeter is and all but start from where the antenna is mounted and work down. Than after getting it to the edge where the glove box is look underneath and run it threw the loops down there and you can zip tie as well. Than run it the rest of the way to your head unit.

The wire for the mic same thing use a butter knife with tape and push it into the crease where the head liner and the a pillar meet than run it down to where the weather stripping is pull that back run it behind there and same for that all the way to the head unit.

I think my next install I am going to go step by step lol.

Yes. On DNX6140, if you press and hold NAV button, it'll permanently display rear cam regardless of the gear you're in. To disable, simply press any button. No modification needed. This is one of the cool features of Kenwood DNX series. :tup: Living in crowded East Coast, I often find myself in small parking lot ( or parallel parking space) where I have to go back and forth multiple times. Keeping the camera "ON" permanently eliminates constant switching from the reverse gear.
