I am TOTALLY unable to install that thing! so it as been installed by the dealer.
total cost was 3500 € (abt 4600 US.$) including a bluetooth unit and a satellite receiver.
My guess is that is cheaper in the States so go to PIONEER.COM and check the accessories and the prices of the equipment.

LawWyfe- I'll have a pic posted today. I've also got a Garmin GPS and quite honestly, another screen would have crossed over into the land of 'tacky'.

Thanks so much Hun! My sentiments exactly...I am somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to my little Hummer (just my own personal taste for mine) I have the Garmin Nuvi as well which obviously came "after the fact"and an XM radio which I also inherited after the fact, so I just didn't see having more clutter and wires hanging all over the place!

Here you go...
I had 'happy drilling fingers' on the inside-right sensor. I probably should have lined it up with the inside-left sensor instead of the outside-right. Oops!!!
Also, to get my Garmin off the dash, I mounted it 'upstairs" and tucked the wire inside the liner.

Anything more on this subject will help me too. I was planning on purchasing the Audiovox trailer hitch sensor till I saw this thread... now I don't know what to do...
I am not the type to drill holes into my new vehicle!

I'm all for choosing a system that works best for YOU. As mentioned before, I believe that a system that WARNS you (idiot proof), is absolutely the way to go. The bumper hitch sensors look like a great solution. Same principle as mine. I probably would have purchased the hitch sensors if I would have seen it earlier.
IMO- No downside if you try the hitch sensors. It definitely looks plug-and-play. If you don't like it, package it back up and re-sell or return it then go to Plan B.
If you decide to go the CrimeStopper route, I saw them on eBay for around $53.00. It does come with a hole saw for the sensors. Sensors fit snug in the hole, but I used a little clear construction adhesive. The control module measures approx 3x2x.75. I mounted it inside the bumper (it's weatherproof). I popped the backup lens and tapped into the backup light wiring. Then I snaked the LED readout wire underneath the interior side molding up to and underneath the dash. 1.5 hours total. No big deal.

Which wire did you tap into for the LED readout ?

LED readout has a 50' lead and is powered from the control module. The only tap is from the control module power leads into one of the backup lights. There is also a little pizzo speaker (warning beeper) with about a 8' lead that I mounted just inside the rear cargo area.

Fin, THANKS SO MUCH for all your help in pics and descriptions. You have been most helpful! I may consider this option and soon. I do survey my surroundings now before I even get into my H3 to back out after that embarrassing mishap...and of course "I'm an excellent driver" (and Kmart sucks too) LOL!
