Cheers Bob, really easy to fit as well, + & - from reverse lamp and one rca cable to the back of the head unit from the camera. It even came with the hole cutter for the bumper.

There is the proper route here;

or if that gets filled up then there are identical holes on the nearside as well, you can make use of but have to make your own rubber boot!

My camera is in the bumper as shown and there is a grommet in the off side rear floor just behind the panel below the rear seatbelt mount. Just undo the seat belt bolt, pull the panel off slightly, remove the black cover on the end of the seat rail so you can lift the carpet out the way. You need to lift the sponge insulation and the grommet is on the floor. Didn't even have to take the bumper off to fit it.

Its, an Xtrons double din head unit, not sure what model but it is an older model now, but it works well. I could get the model no off it if you want it.

Did not want to hijack the thread but you sound like you know your way around with the electronics!

I am after a double din - Have only just found out that is what they are called..... Just so many different types available.
