Thanks guys
I am pretty sure any of them can just be unplugged with no effect.

There is also a windshield mount for the guage if you want. That way you can move it around.
Yes, all they have to do is unplug it. All it does is tap into the vehicles (computer) sensors to receive info.

It turns on automatically when you put it in reverse, but on the touch screen you can select the camera to stay on as well while you are going down the road.

FYI I saw a remote camera kit with screen for 129$ the other day. They are all over, and cheap.

Has anyone tried swapping their headunit out with a Pioneer AppRadio2?
AppRadio 2 (SPH-DA100) - In-Dash iPhone® 4/4S and Android™ Compatible Car Receiver with 7" Capacitive Multi-Touch Screen, Built-In Bluetooth for Hands-Free Calling, and On-Screen Access to Compatible Smartphone Apps | Pioneer Electroni

It's an extension of your smartphone display and works by running apps on the phone; you'll need a data plan to get anything to work..

It comes with Inrix nav/map app and Pandora

Running DashCommand turns it into an OBD code reader and multiple gauge display

It also has backup camera interface

For 400 bux, it's a clean factory-looking install. Install the apps you want and you're stiil ahead of some of the other standalone solutions
Unfortunately, I have my expensive Sync unit, so I'm likely not going to do anything.

Awesome. I like the idea of being to check the trailer hitch when going down the road.

They are. There are some good brand name ones on Amazon for even less. My problem is between GPS, ScanGuage, Ham radio, XM radio, etc. things are getting cluttered enough. Consolidation of function is a good idea in my book.
