I picked one up this weekend and did an install.  Took about 30 minutes including deciding where to put the camera and monitor.

Here's the link to BJ's online:  VR3 for $89.99 at BJ's

Just noticed that the picture in the link shows a two button monitor.  The one that I picked up at the warehouse store had 4 buttons.  ???

How is it working, okay?

So far so good, only had it for two days.  One of the other NE guys, Gadgetmason also has the VR3 and hasn't had any problems.  He went as far as modding his cubby and putting the monitor in it. 

I've read that some members have had problems with interference, but I haven't experienced any. 
Also, if you have the monitor turned on and you hit the unlock button on your key fob, the rear view will show on the screen.  This momentarily through me for a loop because I didn't have the AV in reverse, then I realized it was due to the fact that the reverse lights were on when I hit the unlock button.

I'm not using it as a parking assist, only to see if there is anyone behind the AV, like small kids, or some clueless people who walk behind my truck when I'm getting ready to back out of my space in a parking lot.  It's like they have a death wish or something.  They can see my reverse lights are on AND hear my flowmaster!  Why do they still insist on walking behind me when I'm backing out!!!  :beating:  :beating:

had my wireless installed for little over a week now. Bought it off ebay for $69 shipped to me. Already stopped me from backing into a civic at the mall!  :love:
 
Camera is installed. Very easy. For now, I just used the license plate bracket and later will find a way to hard wire it in for a permanent location for the monitor. Works well, and serves its purpose. A little interference,but not bad.
 
as a temporary mount, I mounted my camera in the hole above the trailer hitch. got to find a way to permently mount it there. with where it is mounted, it shows exactly what I need it to for me to know exactly how far I can back up. First time I used it, I backed the truck less than an inch of the garage door. so far, no interference.
 
mine is wired in to the reverse light on the passenger side with 2 wire connectors (provided), and the screen is plugged into the cigarette lighter.
