Actually these wirelss( reversing) camera things one can buy these days could well be the best and cheapest alternative to duplicating all instruments, and a bit less drastic than cutting into the deck to make a window. I set one up on my wife's Outback, as it was the model just before they came standard here, and it works a charm. If you had one focussed on the instruments, with the screen up top, the power being switched on by simple toggle upstairs and down, and they work off 12v, then you have it all there, and look, no wires and no holes...! Then just add depth and GPS - plenty of quite inexpensive units, (or use iPadfor GPS like I do), and Bob's your Uncle...
