You have to pop the interior trim off to reveal the hidden fixings.

cheers.

You might like to look at page 16 from this PDF (GVIF Install). Actually since you're doing a reverse camera install, then the whole document could be of interest to you.

Thanks, I figured it out eventually and did find that in my searching but didn't read it properly.

Do you know if those GVIF interfaces will connect the D4 radio up to a windows CE device. I bought a 7" Nav unit. It's a windows CE device and I can run igo and Ozi explorer and input the camera. if the GVIF will connect everything up to the new display then I might experiment a bit.

Sorry, I don't know much about the GVIF itself. I have the D4 with the poverty pack screen so it wasn't going to help me. Also depending on what you want to do with the screen to display the rear camera you can look for "Blackvue installation" to get some ideas for how to run wiring up to the rear vision mirror area.
