I didn't see any pictures of the mounting of the cam at the rear of the truck and the corresponding wire connections. If these pics exist and I missed them I apologize...if someone could post a link that would be great. If they aren't posted yet I'd love to see some pics.
I didn't include the camera install because I used the Toyota OEM camera. For the OEM camera, all you have to do is remove the old tailgate handle, put in the new one with the camera, and run the supplied wire through the tailgate to the plug behind the bumper. It's all plug and play in the tailgate.

take a peek at these instructions...doesn't look like they removed the cover over the instrument cluster.

That dash kit appears to be the Scosche kit and is the same one I used. They just throw in a set of tools to go with it. Not bad if you need the tools.

And they do pull out the right side of the dash in those instructions:

You can do it that way. I found it easier to pull more of the dash out than just the right side. I didn't remove the dash cluster, I just pulled it away from the dash to make more room.

The echo all depends on where you put the mic in the truck and how hidden you want it. Play around with the placement and it will be fine.
