Right on.

DONT pull down on the headliner cause u can put a permanent bend on it where the ceiling don't meet flush with the roof. Saggy not cool

Just use an interior tool or spatulas or watever the faq u want to push the cord into the crevice. Don't pull down the liner.

So I went ahead and bought everything and installed it all yesterday. Overall everything went well. I tucked the wire up top along the head liner, ran it down the A-pillar and weather stripping, and tapped into the "Cigar Lighter" fuse.

I'm having some problems with the camera itself, but nothing related to the install. For some reason when I try and connect it to my computer, my computer cannot detect it. I can't remove the microSD card either, because it is stuck in there. I contacted the company and it sounds like they're going to send me a replacement. Hopefully that one works a little better.

Anyways, here's a little write-up I did for the install.
