Excellent! Thanks for the update. I see on the Info screen, you now have the black background/color palette. I think you mentioned earlier that you did not see this option. What changed or got fixed?

To install the ML+, do we actually need the GEN5 screen or GEN5 HU? or both?

Yes need both. The multi display has hd video input and the HU has the mp3 player

9/27/11 I Just finished hooking up factory reverse camera and installed nav ecu and harness a few days ago. everything works flawlessly i now have a COMPLETE GENERATION 5 conversion in my car. Even ML+ works flawlessly! well worth the money with a little searching its about the same cost as a good indash nav/dvd player setup! harness cutting and modification was necessary so going back would be quite a task.
