I wish I had my dremel for cutting out the window as the plastic is very heavy, strong and soft and takes forever with an exacto knife. The dremel was at my buds so I chose to do it the manual way and it took over an hour and several blades. That was the worst of it. I found that using epoxy putty works great for mounting bits. Wiring was simple; they even have taps on the power leads going into the radio for switchable 12v and always on 12v.

This system has a separate wireless receiver on the monitor and transmitter on the camera if you don't want to run a lead, but I chose to do it it with a lead so I didn't have so much wiring to do - I would have to provide power for both radio units plus the camera and monitor.
