Congrats on your new baby and welcome.

I do have some questions though...I gave in to the sales pitch and bought the Hitch Cam for $1295. Now, I realize I can get one for much, much less expensive. It's not installed yet, was supposed to bring it in on Wednesday evening. So, I'm basically going to call and 'cancel' it tomorrow now that I have found this great forum.
So..here's my question. I see that some of your are getting the rear camera AND a navigation system all in one type unit. Where can I these? I don't even know where to start. Is it feasible to get one that has both Nav and Rear camera for about the same price as what I was paying the dealer for the cam?

Check around with local car audio shops with a good reputation. You can get a new stereo with navigation that also has inputs for a reverse camera. I am guessing that you can get one for around $1k but can spend over $2k for you. I have seen the cameras for as little as $200. I really don't know what everything would cost to install as I always do it myself. You are going to spend more than the $1295 at the dealer but you are also going to have navigation which you wouldn't have through the dealer.

My other question is the radio situation. My H3 came with the XM radio. I have a Sirius unit that I purchased for the Expedition that I would rather use. The Sirius unit uses a radio frequency (88.5 I believe) but I don't know how or even if I can turn off the XM part and just have a regular radio. Is that even possible? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Your Sirius unit will work just fine in your H3. The XM is free for the first three months with your purchase of the H3. After that, if you don't want it, just don't sign up for it. If you go the route I mentioned before you can get a navigation unit that is Sirius ready and the quality would be better than what you are used to.
