I replaced the whole MMCS + audio with Clarion stuff. I almost got the Clarion camera, but it was at least $300, I forget. I ended going with a Pioneer camera that is generic and will work with any head unit. The connector on the back of the Clarion head unit uses the AiNET (Alpine) format, so I just used an AiNET cable and spliced that into the Pioneer camera. It sounds like a lame hack but that's why the Pioneer camera can work with any head unit. Oh and it has saved the life of 1 bicyclist so far.

The camera is made for the outdoors, no worries from dust/drit/water. I'll definetly be posting pics when I install my nav too. But salukidude, if you have pics, I'd love to see them too.

Thanks

I need to get one of these. Parking ehre in philly is a B!T@# and spots are really tight. Im not too good at measuring out either, so this would be really useful. So would some sensors.

Know where some sensors oculd be picked up rather cheap?
