thanks.. and nice clean install bud
Contact NAV-TV, I'm pretty sure they have an all-gig for your radio. You can buy direct from them and they offer awesome customer service.
As for the hook up, you need the all-gig and the A/V cables sold ny NAV-TV. The A/V cable plugs into your radio harness giving you the RCA jack needed for the camera. Pretty easy install. The hardest, or should I say, most time consuming part was runnng the RCA and power cable underneath the truck.

The wife loves being able to watch movies while I drive. Another neat feature is that you can actually turn the camera on anytime you want without having to be in reverse. This is done by pressing the volume **** twice.

That's cool. Does this mean all I need is All-Gig to get the movies to play up front?

Did you run an RCA cable for the camera all the way from behind the radio to the tailgate? How long of a cable did you use? Also what did you tap the power wire into?

yes...if you get the allgig or lockpick...this allows you to watch tv in the front and an extra outs for video for future back seat monitors and backup camera and also allows you to enter into the nav while in motion

yes it is plug and play
yes it is software

allgig is from navtv.com

i just one and will be installing it next week. i've done this with other vehicles in the past and it has worked flawlessly and worth every dollar.

The all-gig is a device that plugs in between the radio and the harness. You will need about 35FT of cables and the hole can be drilled out, it's on my the plastic on the handle. I used a dremel tool,

slow down the drill speed it's plastic you could probably drill the hole my hand with the drill bit in plastic.If you can drill from inside and put the outside flat part on piece of wood, drill slow and you might have to file some burrs off if you go too fast, or even use a hole saw the exact size you need, that is what I would do.
