I'm just in the dreaming stage about what to do as far a future mods go to my newly acquired 200. A front bull bar & winch will be part of it. Looking at lots off pictures of ARB set ups online, it appears that the winch would interfere with the front camera. Prior to owning this vehicle (which is my daily driver at the moment and will be for a long while), I've not had cameras on any vehicle except my wife's RAV's backup camera which is useless. My opinion of them was that they are not all that useful. That said, I'm finding the 200's camera's to be pretty useful. I use the front and side camera daily pulling into my ridiculously overstuffed garage. If I could get the single front view that is available in low range to be available in high range that would be really useful in pulling into my garage (you'd have to see my garage to understand why). My question is this: Other than looking "normal", is there a reason the control box has to be in the center on the bumper? I assume the ARB bumper will have mounting holes there but could I move the control box so that it won't interfere with the front camera? Seems like I could but has anyone done this? Is there a winch option with an integral control box that all fits in the bumper, out of sight, made for an ARB or some other bull bar bumper for an LC200 ? I've seen this on other vehicles.
 
Thanks. I was wondering about under the hood but wasn't sure how inconvenient that would be. With a wireless remote, is there need to access it to use the winch?

Wireless remote under hood = awesome sauce
