Funny. Man you went to alot of work. I took of the access panel, ran the cord between the license plate and the wiring and the transmitter, then velcroed the transmitter to the back panel. then the monitor went on the dash, kinda just set it there and that was about it. Must be alot more **** retentive or OCD than me. LOL. Good you got it working. I love mine especially in tight spots too.
