The Apple doc is from AlekShop, too. The install is easy enough to do yourself. Driver Source installed it for me since they were installing the cam at the same time.

I have the Alekshop front and rear cams. How do you activate the PnP for the rear sensors? I must have missed that in the directions. Lol. I hear the beeps but don't see the screen

I think it's the button on the steering wheel that flips between audio sources. The rear PDC can be moved around the screen by using this button. Let me know if this doesn't work and I'll post a pic or vid clip.

Yup it was the audio select on the steering wheel. Thank you!

have you used the dock to watch any videos on your Navi screen? just wondering how the quality is and how the sound is?

I haven't tried this as I did not request the cable (video input?) to be installed during install. However, I have enabled DVD In-Motion on my car and watch videos this way.

Does the iPhone stay put while diving? Meaning if you take a corner or two does it come out?
