I installed the @Wolfbox 840S today.
I have been looking for a solution for a rear camera since I put the dirtcom trail swing in which completely blocks the rear camera. A member here used a second OEM camera and harness, but that isn't cheap. The one relocation harness I found available is over $200, but this was only $129 and comes with a dash cam.
Nice clean install. Ran the power cable down the passenger side A pillar, under the carpet, up to the cigarette lighter. Ran the rear camera wire down the drivers side a pillar and through the grommet under the rear seat on the driver's side and along the frame with a few zip ties along the way. Protected it under the bed with some wiring loom. The 20' stock cable barely made it, but it did! Just enough room for some play with my tire carrier. Glad it did because the next step up is 33' and I didn't want all that extra wire underneath.
I mounted the camera between my license plate and license plate bracket. It's pretty secure, but put a strip of 3m double sided adhesive on the camera bracket just for good measure.
I haven't wired the reverse wire (to kick the camera into reverse mode when you back up) and didn't put the GPS in yet. Undecided about that.
Anyways, it's a good, inexpensive solution for me.
Cheers
