First off, many thanks to Tim at Hondacuraworld.com for giving me the option of returning the kit if it does not work on the 02 model Ody. Needless to say I wll not be returning it because it works on the 02 models. The installation took about three hours and was fairly easy to install. Here are some pics.

Pretty dang cool - I thought the cover was black?
Below are just the attached pictures above - I just got tired of flipping between screens.

I would be interested in finding out what was in the kit and how much the kit cost. Did it include everything needed (except the monitor)? I could not find such a kit on Tim's website, is there a URL you can refer me to?Ryu said:
Thanks in advance!

Thanls BrianB for posting the pictures. The instruction was very thorough and I didn't experience anything out of the ordinary. The only advice I may have to pass on is to not leave too much slack in the cable behind the camera. The cables connecting the camera will barely reach the mdule behind the side panel. I never crossed my mind to mount the camera in place of the logo. I think the logo is wider than the camera housing. Tim doesn't have the kit listed on his site but he can get it. The price of the kit is $488.40 and free shipping although he FedEx my kit to me 
The logo is attached with adhesive, although there are 2 small holes behind it---behind the thicker portion of the letter H itself. It looks like the camera housing is plenty big enough to cover holes underneath. Why is it a problem to have too much slack?Ryu said:Thanls BrianB for posting the pictures.

Looks really good! How much did you have to cut to mount the camera? And the black areas on the screen are they shadows or something? How do you toggle between back up screen to Nav? Lastly could it work on my '00 Ody w/ Nav? Sorry for all the questions but I'm pretty eager to order one.
There was no cutting required. The installation required drilling three 8 mm and one 10 mm hole. The black area on the screen is shadow as I had to pull it into the garage so there wouldn't be any glare on the monitor for the picture. The camera comes on when the tranmission is in reverse. I don't if know it will work on a '00 Ody. The only connection require is the 24-pin connector behind and to the left of the pocket in the center of your dash. If you have this connector chances are pretty good unless the pin-out on it is different.Allan Ariate said:

Always trying to be different...
Would the camera mount under the license plate and still have a good rear view? How far out does the camera protrude from the back to front top edge inch-wise?

Just to be sure the camera and all necessary components are Honda OEM equipment right? Or are they aftermarket?
The housing protrudes out 2 inches from where it meets the vehicle. This kit is an OEM kit sold by Honda for the '03 Ody. There is no splicing of any wires for the installation. It connects to the navi via the 24-pin connector behind the pocket of the lower center console.
