Started getting prices today . One guy quoted me at 650$ !!! Not looking to spend all that to be honest. I think that's rather expensive....

How much for parts? How much for labor? How do you select video as a source and how do you control it? I assume you are using the Alpine DVD from the rear entertainment package?

ok . so the module was 300$ the labor was 150$ i have 2 switches (look factory and hidden. 1 switch lets me activate the rear dvd player and the 2nd switch lets me activate the aux jack in rear seat console so i can use either my iphone or the factory dvd... well worth every dollar. I will be installing a rear camera in a wk or so once I research them..... If you want let me know ill call the guy for the module . He wants 350 but I can talk him down to 300... Thats what I paid.....

Suede, it is cheap and easy. Make certain they use automotive grade fabric that is UV resistant otherwise it will turn horrible colors over time.
