Video in Motion

For the life of me I can't find a recent thread that talked about the work around for VIM. Does anyone know where I can find info about video in motion?

Here is the link to the $160 VIM piece on EB http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_3050wt_1165

Keep in mind that there are two version, I bought the one without backup camera input because my car already has it.

yeah bought that from the website listed. i cant compare to the midcity one but looks similar. functions perfect.

realistically this can be done in 20 minutes but i was so nervous and cautious while installing it and it took me 1.5 hr or so. I since then have tried to wire in a laser jammer and redid the install and it took 20 min to redo.

Anyway, the instructions are good as listed in the pdf, the only thing that threw me off was the blue plastic strips on the harness. it seems as if it doesn`t fit and i probably stared at it for 15 minutes. you just have to use some pressure and it fits.

Highly recommend it (I have two kids).

I got the midcity one 2 months ago and it took me 10 mins to install. Just make two removal tools from clotheshanger wire and its easy if you are comfortable with this type of work. fit and quality are super, worth the 300
