Backup Camera Instructions & Bezel - MUST READ

I installed this Doppeldyne on a 2005 Jeep Liberty. Right after the purchase I ordered a dashboard trim / frame kit. The radio size is 4 x 7 inches and the frame size is 4 x 6.875 inches, which is too small for a radio. I've looked at other frame suppliers and couldn't find one with a hole large enough for this radio. Before you buy this radio I suggest you find a bezel that offers a true 4 x 7 inch. I ended up spending countless hours meticulously trimming/sanding/polishing the faceplate to make it fit and not look like junk. Now for installing the camera. Be very careful with installation instructions. You are misleading. See the photos I've attached. The instructions on the first photo show port 7 as "Rear Camera In" while the device photo on the right of the Revain product page shows port 9 as "Rear Camera In". If you are reading this, the seller may have corrected these conflicting instructions. If this is the case, I recommend that you connect everything and fully test all functions before screwing the device into the dash. This brings me to another observation. The two universal mounts that came with it were completely useless. They weren't big enough to attach to the original radio mount holes. So I had to make a homemade solution for mounting the radio. In addition to all of the above, I decided to end with some comments on the camera installation instructions. Look at the photo and you will quickly realize how urgent it is for this seller to provide clear and comprehensive installation instructions. To be honest, navigation, Bluetooth and radio can convince. I can't comment on the camera yet as it's not working yet. The downside of this retailer is the quality. The device makes a decent impression, but the extremely meager installation instructions and the lack of really universal installation parts leave a lot to be desired.
