That little square pops out if you have the bumper off, just a bit of foam behind it. I have no idea what the real purpose is, none that I know of. Then just drill out a hole and mount to the square. I like that it's perfectly centered, and almost looks like it belongs there.

What it looks like as soon as I shift into reverse, no matter if the unit is still booting up or not.

Pic with door open and iPhone audio / video cable. I never use the cable though, bluetooth synch is the way. I could tuck the cable, but I wanted to leave access to the USB part of the cable.

Head unit open.

Where the mic is installed.

Looks eeeeexcellent. Did the head unit install into the original molding or is that an install kit?

Original molding... everything works except the steering wheel controls... you can wire them up and they work, but as soon as you turn the car off and back on, it all stops working.

wow that is stealth! I like it! I'm glad I haven't installed mine yet. How did you remove the rear bumper? So far I only found DIY: front bumper removal and nothing for the rear

Thanks man, I was going for stealth... I paid people to install it though, I don't know how they got the bumper off. I only picked the spot for the cam. It 'may' be possible to pop out the square from the inside of the trunk if you can get everything else out of the way, not sure.

Thanks, that helps alot... Some guy at bestbuy tried to tell me that I needed a $100 trim kit to get that unit into the car. And of course they didnt even carry the kit.

I think he misunderstood your questions. There is a trim kit, i Think its more like 40 bucks but you will need one...

I think you only need a trim kit if you have the Bose/Touring radio. You don't need one if you have the base model.
