First off let me say Dennis at Http://doubledmods.com is absolutely amazing, i first jumped into a clearance model package he was offering then upgraded to another special pricing unit with Navigation then added Premium Brackets and Reverse Camera.
Multiple E-Mails and a phone call to confirm the exact order because of my ever changing mind and he was happy to take the time to get me fixed up.
The install wasn't difficult by any means but very time consuming to get things right, having the right tool to cut out the bracket under the radio would of saved quite a bit of frustration.
He has an install guide on the website which is very helpful without using it i would of got lost multiple times, only issue i ran into is the passenger door speaker is making a bit of a rattle/popping noise with bass sound emailed him to see how he would follow up with it.
Fit and Finish are top notch, thanks again Dennis looking forward to doing future business with you.
He says he can do it with a switch for back and forth, but did anyone ever install a front looking camera too, in addition to the rear looking camera? That would be great to see the curbs in front instead of listening to a beep from the ultrasonic device.

He does offer a switching device package with 2 cameras for I think it's 99.00 I am not positive how the front camera gets activated.
My clarion unit has additional video inputs which leads me to believe adding a front camera would be fairly easy but would have to manually turn it on each time
After Dennis hooked me up with my pakage, I installed front and rear cameras. I used a traction control plate that had the three position ride select switch to keep it factory looking. My car did not have this option. Rewired the switch for front on demand camera, normal mode for reverse, and rear on demand camera. This is routed through a dual relay system I made to switch power to chosen camera. Power has to be switched to chosen camera or you get a mixed video signal. A video splitter is used between front and rear cameras. So I can switch from front to rear camera whenever I need even going down the road. Helps with front curb parking as well.

Stealth - That /\ is great. You need to post a write-up of that installation, or at least a wiring diagram of how you did that. Whenever I get around to getting my double din, that's what I want to do.
I bought a extra bezel off Ebay and Dennis already has it but I still haven't pulled the trigger on the package yet. I didn't think that much about the camera's but your set up has me thinking
we have been using Pyle cameras as they are very inexpensive and will do front and rear for correct image viewing.
If you connect the rear camera as normal and the front run to video in you can switch on screen to video for front camera.
Some of the KEnwood 6.95" screens have an AUD button on the bottom of them to press that will switch to the front camera as well.
we do have the unit to switch them from Crimestoppers in stock should you want to do that option.
Clarion NX404 is what is shown above the TY installed.

When I contacted Dennis about doing a double din... I had already done my research and knew what I wanted.. ( I should say , what I " thought I wanted " ) As smart as I think I am, I knew going in, that I was not an expert in audio design... So I allowed Dennis to change my mind... I let him, because I put my self in his hands.. after all he was the expert... he could have just taken my order, and could have been supportive of my choice. But this is Dennis.. he asked me a few questions about my choice, and always with respect for my thoughts...
to make a long story short... he gave me logical reason to rethink my choice...
Im going to point out a very critical issue that I had no clue it was so critical... I was going for the "clean look " ... Dennis said clean is one thing but function is another..... he talked me into getting a head unt with a large volume ****...as oppose to and up and down push button, in a row of many exact push buttons, with no way of telling one from the other without looking.....
Let me tell you ... the volume button is used more then any other control on my head unit...IM constantly adjusting it for sound when stopped at a light with windows down, then back up to those pumping tones when cruising...
Dennis talked me into that large volume button because you never have to take your eyes off the road.. it is instantly recognizable by its feel.. where as, a row of small square button with different functions make them hard to ditinguish one from the other.... My point here is Dennis was genuine, and respectful of my original ideas.. but talked me into a better choice, and I let him because " He " " IS" the EXPERT.
With Dennis, you get great prices ... his expertise, and his customer service. Its fairly easy to recognize his personality as being a great guy when you talk with him, an expert in this stuff, and someone you could allow with confidence to follow his recommendations...If you have a budget.. he will give you the best bang for the buck.. and also something that might be a little out of the budget, but an increase in your overall experience for very little money... BTW a rear camera and a front camera is a nice option for little extra money...something you may not have considered. You can be assured that Dennis is in your corner.. I don't endorse too many Vendors, But Double D mods is a great place to spend some money with confidence.. and great tech support..
Thanks Dennis... you are a good guy.. and a credit to your parents LOL

That is a fantastic idea!
I already have a Kenwood DD system from Dennis and I'm thinking about upgrading my headunit next year. If I do, I might try this mod as well. Again, great idea!
