    Oh, and a side note: If you take it back, they will charge you removal labor too. Or you can remove it yourself.

    Wow, they don't really advertise THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm going to try to get down there today to wrap this up. (If I get any busier, I'll have to push it back until tomorrow.) I'll tell them the TRUTH: I love everything about the system...it looks great, sounds great, works perfectly...but I KNOW that I told both the installer AND the salesman that I wanted the rear-view camera installed IN THE REAR-VIEW CAMERA CUBBY.

    I mean, I'm just a dumb photographer, but if somebody hands me a photo and a frame, I don't just staple the photo to the back of the frame!

    The weirdness is, the rest of the install looks 'better than new'. The head unit fits like it belongs there. The rear sub was hidden behind a tasteful cloth grill.

    Then they just jackhammered the camera onto the back of the hatch!

    Boneheads. ::sigh::

    Well, good news, I hope. I took the VX down to Car Toys this afternoon, and the installer agreed to make it right. No hassle.

    I'll drop it off tomorrow morning, and hopefully have it back by afternoon.
