Nav System/Backup Camera Question

[H2bill]

First off, Greetings! I'm a nOOb to this forum but look forward to a long friendly relationship with you all. I have belonged to a motorcycle forum (ADVrider) for years and and know about the invaluable info sharing that take place in these forums. After years of putting it off, I finally pulled the trigger last Friday and bought a new ('06) H2. I love it (like I knew I would).

Now to my question... I am planning on putting in a Pioneer AVIC Z1 navigation sysyem. Does anyone have any experience with an install in an H2 of this unit? I have done a quick search here and have read about the data bus and VIN lock issues. I am planning on having it installed at Car Toys in Portland (OR). Are they going to have problems in getting everything to work as it should? Are there specific questions I should be asking the installer before I let them touch my new ride?

Also, where are folks putting their backup camera on the H2? I have seen them installed high (in the center marker light spot) which look cool, but it seems to me all you would see here is the top of the spare. Is there another spot that is protected and works well lower down?

Thanks.
