Yeah, the install was not fun at all. But it came out really nice in the end. I ran the wire through one of the grommets in the floor of the cab. I came up through the one under the back seat floorboard.

I can turn the audio on and leave that compartment closed. But every now and then it would get a false reading. Oddly enough, it always worked flawless in the rain. The LCD readout is nice, but it drops to zero when you are within 12 inches (or maybe a little more). In my book, 12 inches is plenty of clearance space while turning.

Here's a picture of the back of the truck. I chose the silver sensors so they aren't noticeable... as you can tell in the picture. But I think these can be painted so if I paint my bumper or go with something else, then silver won't be a problem.
