I'm almost positive the specs on this camera are not accurate. It should get the job done however. Install pics to follow :smash:

Good find....I just ordered one also. Do you know where you are going to put it? I am thinking about putting it in my third brake light. Have to get the camera in hand first though. I have the interior all out right now thinking aobut posting some progress pics. What do you think?

Re: I ordered my back up camera today (leolufse)
Ken @ Vette Essentials has his in the third brake light and it looks sweet. He even did his without removing the light. I think I am going to pull the light myself and put it there. I will take several pictures when I start. Won't be till next week, I still have to finish sound deading and running the wires then put car back together. Oh I am in so much trouble with the old lady since she can not park her car in the garage. I think I am going to be sleeping in my shop soon.

Just curious... whats the purpose of the rear view camera :confused: the C5 is not a bus :jester
On a serious note... what is it that you gain after all the time and $$ spent :confused: ....what can the camera do that the rear view mirror cant :confused:

Re: I ordered my back up camera today (Conquer)
I know where you are coming from Conquer. Does seem a bit far fetched for a vette. But I can tell you my reason for doing it. I have one in my F350 dually and love it. It lets me know that there is something the truck can not run over behind me so now I am quite used to having one in my vechicle. The other major reason for me is I have to back down an unlit 150 ft twisting driveway and it SUCKS in the vette. But most of all....it is just cool when you put the car in reverse and what is behind you shows up on the screen.

Actually, it doesn't really cost that much to install if you have the screen.
This was my first install http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=496390" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow external">http://<a href="http://forums.corvet...?id=496390</a>
I moved the camera to the top after I got a new plate.
Everybody thinks it's the coolest part of the car. :lol: :lol:

Re: I ordered my back up camera today (vrumvrum)
Yeah, I think I'm going to do mine in the plate like that.
I was also thinking about adding a cam to the front of the car, to flip on when I'm approaching a steep driveway to determine if the front of the car is going to scrape :cool:
