    What he said. I had the abc kit and it worked flawlessly. I eventually switched to this kit and am even happier with the cleaner install. Only difference is before my switch was always in the same place. Now it goes in a circle and sometimes I have to look for it. Also, takes a little more work to get it to stay on vs the prior kit.

    Either kit, my second favorite mod. Favorite mod being the passenger door keyless entry mod.

    Driver's side has a plethora of critical wires. Passenger side has 3 (IIRC) EMPTY pass through nipples with plenty of space for wiring - you roll the dice on f-ing something up by going driver's side. My professional opinion of course...:thumbsup:

    Ok I just ordered the kit from R4T because the official anytime backup camera website was sold out and he said it will be a while till he gets more due to the Coronavirus (plus it was $25 cheaper though R4T!)

    Now I gotta decide which camera to buy, seems like everyone is happy with the Natika ones eh? I was also looking at a park vision one that has a button to allow you to switch between 180 and 130 degrees wide but it is 1.18” vs the 0.83” that the Natika one sticks down in front of the TSS sensor. I am afraid that it will be too big and cause issues lol

    I would like to purchase the OEM panorama view kit for my 2020.
    If anyone knows the part # or can lead me in the right direction, that would just be awesome.

    I've done 2 installs and did not disconnect the battery each time. No issues whatsoever.

    The output from the camera is fine, it works. When i said the camera is crap its because the one that i got from them came with LED on the housing so every time i turn it on, LED is on too. And it came with a nut that has a cut on it (weird) and it wont tighten because of it, its stupid.
    I actually posted it here trying to find some answers back then, just take a look to see what im talking about.
