Official Video in Motion thread
After numerous searches I came to the conclustion for the 2 best solutions for enabling VIM are:
1. NAV-TV's W204VIM $450 (with group buy, 20+)
2. mbdoctor.com's W-204 TV FREE DVD $349
They both claim that it's plug and play and no splicing of any wire is necessary.
For those of you that have either one of these, or any other solutions, please post your DIYs, pictures, and knowledge here, so that we can figure out which one is better, or what the best solution is.
There are too many threads about this that are scattered around. I thought we should combine everything in this thread.

I read somewhere that some of the backup camera addons include a VIM module.
I'd really like to get a backup camera and am hoping that when I find one I like it will include VIM.

NavTV also offers backup camera. I just found another company making VIM and backup camera: midcityengineering.com
They offer their own unit for around $400.

Youtube installation video. This was previously posted by another member. I thought I just throw it in here.
Also, does anyone have either one of these VIM solutions? If so, who did you guys go through for installation in the Los Angeles area. I signed up for NAVTV's group buy, so I'm looking for a professional installer in the Los Angeles area.
