Tox,

Very nice writeup on a pretty complex install. Thanks for taking the extra time to document with photos along the way.

Nice write up, and when you order the sensors, did it come with the wires already? thnx

Yes, most of the wiring was already there, but I did have to extend one sensor wire, the main wire going from the brain to the display, and the main power wire. The sensor wire can be extended using most any coax wire. You can pull out one of the old red/yellow plug RCA wires out from behind the TV and use that as an extension if you want. The wire to the brain was extended using a short piece of Cat5 wire. And the power line just needed an ordinary stranded wire.

Great write up Torxarch! I'd like to do add sonar to my truck. $100 or so is a much better deal comparing to $500 at the dealership. However, installation looks like a major pain. How long did it take you to put everything in?

I would guess around 8 hours or so. It was over the period of 2 evenings and I was trying to decide where to run everything and how I was going to do it and I was taking pictures so that added some time. Plus I got a little nausiated (is that a word?) probably from the WD-40 fumes under the truck.

Hey Tox, I noticed that you removed the panel just below the radio and above the cupholders to do some wiring. Could you tell me how to remove that? I want to run my XM Radio wires through there, but I'm not really sure how to get the panel off and I'm concerned that I will break it in the process.

This is somehting I am planning on attacking in the future when I have more confidence

One question - there is a wiring harness for the factory sensors in the truck. (along with one for the nav system) is there not any way to take advantatge of it when wiring this system together?

Remove the cigarette lighter on the left side and open the cover on the right power port. Stick a thumb in each of the holes, get a good grip, and pull. It will pop right out.

I don't think you can use the factory wiring. They use 3 wires while this system used coax wires.

Thanks, Tox!

Thanks, this and the differential breather look like mods I need to get around to. [Along with many other things]
