Default Back up Camera...Anyone installed one?

I recently installed a new Kenwood 7120 in my Ford Escape Hybrid. I am looking to do the same in the 07 Z06. It features an input for a back up camera. If any car needed a view to the rear it is a C6 Corvette!

I would like to find the most stealth camera I can find. Anyone mount one to their C6 yet? If so, any pictures? What brand do you recommend?

I'd like to get all the components together before the install so I only have to go in once!

Not very stealth but works great. Connected to a Pioneer F90BT...

Works great and you hardly notice it(it´s just above the "H":

Looks good, but I wouldn't have drilled into the bumper Thats just my opinion. I would've tried to find a way to have it installed above the lic plate or something.

Thanks for the replies! So far the one I'm favoring is post #20 in this thread:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...=backup+camera

It appears to just bolt onto the existing plate. If I can paint it to match the car it should be fairly stealthy.

Default Camera

Sonicelectronix http://www.sonicelectronix.com/onix makes a goodlooking camera made into th liecense frame rl26, only problem is it is not too dependable, this will be the 3rd one I will install.

But I think another company makes one.

I've got an Avic Z1 with a bypass installed so everything works while you are in motion. I am having the body shop that is repainting my car put the rear camera in the front bumper so I can pop it on when parking to make sure I don't hit something, and will also be figuring out how to hook it to a camcorder for mountain runs and track events.

That sounds very interesting. An opticle curb feeler!

Cool install. I wonder if it would work with a factory nav.
