Nice! After looking at all my options for a rear view camera (oem/aftermarket) I decided to go with the modmynav version which seems like it's basically what you are buying.
Side question, does anyone on this forum have 'round vision'? I can't for the life of me visualize what that would look like in action.

Did you install it yet? Is it easy?
Nice features, only thing that sucks is: This kit will not provide sound if your car does not have a factory Aux input.
Sucks for older models anyway.

If I've violated any posting guidelines please feel free to edit/delete my post.
Here's the homework I've done so far...
modmynav - $485 + $15 shipping - module 100% plug & play - 3 A/V & rear camera + backup camera 100% plug & play
xcarlink - $235 + $16 shipping - module 100% plug & play - 2 A/V & rear camera + DOES NOT come with backup camera. need to tap into wire NOT 100% plug & play
The xcarlink manual they emailed me doesn't show if rear camera gets mounted into trunk handle or not? Someone that has an xcarlink please install & post pics.
Feel free to chime in or correct me if I'm wrong.
=============
UPDATE: Thanks sahiljain22! You're right I went back to the eBay auction it says rear camera connection only, it doesn't come with one.

I dont think the 235 unit comes with a backup camera. You have to buy it separately.

Thanks for that valuable input Sahiljain22... I asked xcarlink if there were any electrical problems they said no. I've heard of people having electrical problems with certain brands looks like modmynav is the way to go.
Have you sold your unit yet? I'm sure you will sell it soon.

Not yet. I imagine it will arrive next week or so. I have the factory aux but I also read that it has a fm modulator, not sure if that would work well. I'm sure there is somehow a audio install place could hook up an aux jack...

Installed successfully in my car. I can now connect my iphone and use the GPS, watch videos, listed to internet radio and much more!!!
For audio input I use the Parrot bluetooth system (either by bluetooth or using the AUX input)
