Default Ivic 5D Installation questions

I know I should be asking them, but I figure this is an active community, it may help someone else later, and you guys know your stuff.

I attempted to install my Ivic 5D today.

EDIT*

I already received several replies back from Eugene at Vaistech. Awesome customer service.

I had a bad day today. Lost a bolt to hold the nav unit in. No idea where it fell to. Have to get another tomorrow. And once I got it all back together, I found out the ivic didn't fit in the spot I thought it would.

So now I have no backup cam as I still have cables connected to the nav since I'm going to finish tomorrow, and my memory seat buttons aren't working either. Weird. They were beeping like crazy (seats) and I thought they needed to be reset. Tried that and they still aren't working. Press the buttons and no beeps and no movement. Seats work fine. Every adjustment works.

So I guess I'll deal with it again tomorrow. I did however see that it worked with the Iphone 4s, but I couldn't even see the bluetooth connection. It never saw the Ivic. so I still had to mess with the iphone to click an app or type. So needless to say I'm going to grab a new Galaxy S4 in the next couple days.

Ok, update (not that anyone cares)

Got a Samsung Galaxy S3 today even swap for my iPhone 4S. Reinstalled the Ivic. Everything works. I even found the screw I dropped yesterday. So it is all good.

Got it set up like Cjitty. Now I need apps and have to figure out how to work this Android nonsense. Also have to buy a bluetooth mouse. It is tough without it.

Did you include a mouse in your set up? If so, where did you mount it?

I just bought a bluetooth mouse. Same one the Cjitty has in his video.
Plan on just keeping it in center console until needed.
