5). Canbus - it's a small plug, I was looking for something big. 2 wires.

Overall, looks good and very solid. Trying out tomorrow. Will post pics.
As I said in several of my posts on this, the PDC connector was extremely difficult for me to disconnect but after about an hour and many four letter words, I finally got it disconnected. My advice is to try and somehow determine the logic of how these connectors disconnect so you are prepared to do so when you have the rear facia disconnected.

The plastic tray is held in place by three pins similar to the pins that hold on the fender flares, as I recall.

Yes, that canbus plus is small. Be careful not to damage the small pins on it and make sure it is connected tightly.

One final comment. Do not be alarmed if the system does not work quite right when you first install it and before have the proper coding performed. Mine did not work correctly or completely at first but, after the coding, it worked flawlessly, including the disengagement of the rear PDC and the zoom feature on the rear camera also works wonderfully.
