Back up Camera

I put this wireless back up camera in my 2000. I think it was $129. at Costco. Five minutes to install.

Do you have any pictures of the camera and bracket? I was wondering myself if it would work.

Can you give us more information on the unit and can it also be used up front with another camera.

Just back up, the camera is a license plate frame and is solar so no wire to front. The screen is suction cup or you can use the stick on plate. To activate you just give a slight motion with your hand in front of the screen. Screen plugs into "cigarette " lighter.

I don't know where my post is right now, but my front and wireless rear camera setup cost me less than $50.

I have mine wired up to my double DIN unit. It's really good especially since the FRC/Z06 visibility isn't that great. I really want to get a front facing camera but I'm not sure if I'll have enough inputs other than RGB

My wife's infinity has it, pretty cool actually. I sort of feel like it could make me lazy. Lol, like too dependent on new fangled technology, like I haven't already got sucked in by cells phones, etc.

It's a great idea for those who don't drive their vette much. Had to have one on the motor home so I could see the hitch when hooking up to the cargo trailer.

I am guessing it is safe to assume that you have no severe back, cervical spine ( neck) issues. If you did you would know that back up cameras are a god-send.
