I have a 2000 Ford Excursion. I am installing a AVIC-8000nex. I am looking for some tips on installing this product. I am using a Metra 70-1771 wiring harness to plug into my factory harness. I am not using a backup cam at the moment. I am still trying to decide which camera to use if anybody has any suggestions. I have heard about grounding out the parking brake to get video to work while in motion.

Hello, I just installed a x9310bt in my 2006 duperduty using the metra 70-1771.

I ordered this cam to keep the install as low profile as possible. Figure a thief is gonna notice any vehicle with a licence plate cam and target it as aftermarket. I think it's best value for money because you can point it after the install. I like the retail packaging and included accessories.

Highly recommend the parking brake bypass as well as a switchable speed pulse wire.

Good Luck!
