Not sure I'll be able to get a picture up tomorrow - I'm working late so I probably won't see any daylight, but I'll see what I can do.

Install was easy. If you've used an add-a-circuit in your car's fuse box, that's the bulk of the effort. F1point4 has a pretty good DIY article on it if you're not familiar with this. My install went very similarly to his, but I mounted my Magic Pro right above the cutout (it didn't interfere with the harnesses). Wiring goes up the A-pillar on the driver side, tucked along the headliner and right into the camera by the mirror.

I have the camera itself mounted right above the rear view mirror on the driver side. The adhesive is on the dot matrix tinted area so it's nicely hidden from view. If you didn't know what you were looking for, you probably wouldn't notice it from the outside. I also have 35% tint on the sides/rears, so that helps to obscure the view as well. I'd mount it on the passenger side for more clearance from the mirror, but I have my Passport radar detector in that spot already.
