The rear camera is optional, I personally will install the unit first make it fit properly. However, I will eventually buy the rear camera as soon as I can find one that look like oem when mounted underneath the trunk.

this is good to know in case mine finally fails. i have bluetooth, phone and rear view camera already, so i dont know if it will actually all plug and play. i have an 08 and as far as the vents im sure you can find one at the junkyard or fabricate something out of abs plastic

I contacted one the reseller close to my house and asked about these units and he said they are not good quality. I mean if the guy (also Chinese) who is in the industry said this you got to sit up and take note.

So has anyone gotten theirs, shipping isn't that long according the site?

It looks like Bluetooth is built in, so no add on kit is needed.

I received this unit exactly 4 days after I paid for it (sent through PayPal), I was super surprised about how fast it was delivered.

Look at this, it is not too far off of what factory is.

There is a few members using this unit without major issues. I think is
Not perfect yet , but for sure it's a great alternative .

I also contacted them,
got a response and a price quote of 485
I was told to send a pic of my unit , did that , now waiting for a response from them.

on another note I did some research and found out that a guy sells something similar in canada for 800$
going to take a look at his unit and then will go from there .
one way or the other I am definately pulling the trigger on this cuz its a way cheaper choice

i have a flyaudio unit and i think the screenshots look more like the original unit than this brand does, good luck to all who buy and hope it works well, even my fly audio still has issues. they all will most likely have bugs that need fixin.

For those of you who are looking for a camera with OEM look, I bought this camera for my FlyAudio and it looks very similar to the OEM camera.

This unit would not require the vents. enjoy!
so your sure with this one you wouldnt need to purchase the vents? if so im thinking about getting this 580$ for a oem looking unit sounds like a deal. now will i have to run a mic for the unit?
