Default Backup camera

Anyone install a backup camera that you would recommend? I still have the original head unit in, so no screen to hook to. I was thinking about the wireless that connects to your phone. There’s quite a few to choose from so not sure which direction to go. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

My advice is to just upgrade the HU to a new unit. Well worth it.

If you don't want to upgrade your head unit, then they sell rear view mirrors with the 'picture in picture' type back up camera. Pretty small but better than nothing I suppose.

Idaho looks really nice from what I can see there.
