How long ago did you place the order ?

Just curious to see how long I will have to wait

 

Mine is supposed to be here this week. $200 USD with discount. What is everyone paying to have the installed? I may do mine myself and have them just flash the box along with the fix to allow the DVD and camera to display while driving in forward. I have "Magic Sticks" which I believe are the only special tools needed. They are used to remove the trim pieces around the center bezel and IP.

Ordered camera on May 26 & got it today. Installed it tonight took me
3 hours to install. Will call dealer tomorrow to make an appointment to
get it configured.

 

Just currious could someone post a picture. Is the factory camera that much nicer than this boyo vtl-200?



I just installed this on my truck yesterday and with the mygig lockpick v2

The installation was fairly straight forward and easy.
What am i missing is the factory camera uber cool?
Thanks

Thanks W. Stevens

I really appreciate you posting the Part # and Price... Will be ordering one shortly, about at the same time I'm ready for the xenon low beam installation.

Hello all I had an appointment today at 4:00 to get camera configured,
took them 1.5 hours. They did not charge me, maybe cause I worked
there for 17 years as a tech. before going on my own. Anyway camera is working great.

 

Wow! 1.5 hours. The instructions given that come with the cameral sounds like it should not take more than five minutes including pulling the truck in the bay and hooking it to the truck to the computer.

Here are the instructions:

where did you order it? I have had mine on back order since late March. and it keeps getting pushed back from the manufacturer, unknown why, can't see how you got it so quick, any info would help.

 

Man I should order a whole bunch and sell them on Ebay, I am told they can be readily delivered, I will have to check up a little closer into this.

 

I ordered mine last Friday, I was price checking with dealers and found a wide variety of prices for the camera and install. All I talked with had a backorder for at least a month. The dealer I bought my truck wouldn't even price match with another local dealer over a few dollars.
