Rearview camera is available under dealer installed options.
But, can I really trust the dealer to install this?
knowing that on a brand new car, panels have to be popped open for installing camera/harness is a bit nerve wrecking for me.

I'd rather have them already installed in Japan, but doesn't seem to have an option..

Please suggest!! Thanks in advance.

I installed mine in an afternoon. It's not a difficult task to perform, really.

Good luck on your decision.

Really appreciate the pictures.
i decided to get the one already coming in february, and have the dealer install the rearview camera and mirror as part of a deal. factory order would take ~5 months since the next ordering process for this dealer was march.

Was taking apart A-pillar, panels and weather strips pain in the butt?
it looked like it could be a little pain when i saw the installation manual.

The a-pillar was probably the toughest panel to come off. The base of it was the trouble. Weather strips came off and went back on with no issue. I started a thread about a tool I use (not door panel tool) that made it very simple and left no scratches or misformed plastic.
