1. I took out the right license lamp, heat it up in the oven, and took it apart. I then slightly dremeled the upper casing and reglued the lamp 180 degrees turned around. I remounted the lamp housing to the car also 180 degrees turned around. This will provide more space between the hatch unlocking button and the license lamp for the camera.
2. I mounted a home made "L" bracket on the outer side of the camera with double sided tape. I then used the supplied bolt to mount the camera to the "L" bracket.
3. I drilled a hole the side of the hatch unlock button housing and then mounted the inner side of the camera with a bolt going through the hole. I added some velco just to be safe. This will require you to remove the hatch unlock button housing which is only accessible after you take off the rear bumper. The housing is mounted with 4screws if I remember correctly. This will also make the camera harder to steal and provide an added security measure.
Hope these pix and instructions help! Let me know if you guys have any ?s.

I have a friend who has a friend who lives in Japan. I'm trying to sorting out a good price for the Alpine. I have to wait for an answer and then make a choice. There's 100$ between the Alpine and the Panasonic one...

hey mate, I just got the HCE-C100. Before I begin the install, can you give me some directions on where to pass the cables from the bumper to the screen and where to fit the camera electric unit ? Thanks! ;-)
