When I asked AVIN to omit the camera, they said it'd already shipped. So either they lied or maybe that the units ship from HK to AVIN and then get forwarded to the end user...or they omitted the camera during ordering like I asked and didn't refund my money until I brought it up. I posted a link to a YouTube video above showing a comparison of these units and how the vlogger noted the AVIN unit had a reflective AVIN sticker on it...leading me to believe that AVIN simply orders them from their suppliers, throws their sticker on the unit and sends them right back out again.
Shipping info hasn't changed, so I guess we wait and see.

Strange - I can't believe they have not sold these cameras yet and got no feedback they would not fit. As I saw on other forums people say you can't block the sensor from inside the car..
