A HUGE thank you to barrowdad - based on your excellent video and commentary I felt confident to do the job myself! I installed a thinkware f800 pro. It went very smooth and I routed the wires identically to yours. I had your video queued and played over and over in the garage while installing. Front camera and power took about an hour. Rear about 2. Much like you I was dreading the rear wire routing but it wasn't too bad, hopefully my grommet doesn't leak in the back. And I avoided problems thanks to you!

Have you gotten any "battery low" messages due to the 10 minute delay of the ACC power after engine shutoff?
