I bought the LockPick 360 and after 10 hrs my installer could not get it to work properly. Had sound but no video. I then decided to just change my head unit and add a camera. Loving it!!

I don't have factory navigation. I didn't want it.

Since it seems like some of the other memebers don't want to have an additional screen installed, check out the product below... it has a new rearview mirror that mounts on top of your exixting mirror. The screen is in the new mirror. The camera is tag mounted and the reciever goes in the rear compartment. It might make for a nice alternative. I would check it out. At that price, it defianately can't hurt right?

The rearview mirror does create blind spot on top of windshield sometimes can see traffic lights. Limited space and limited vision.

I clicked it just now and it went right to it. Just run a search for the Peak PKC0RG. I haven't tried this setup myself, but it does look like something I would try. I think there are other alternatives as well involving totally replacing your rearview mirror, but the setback with that is you would lose OnStar capability... My advise, buy a new aftermarket headunit with GPS, a tag mounted backup camera, and GAIN features rather than lose any... great navigation, DVD, Bluetooth, camera support, and room to connect aftermarket amps and speakers. Just my opinion.

A license plate mounted bluetooth video camera transmitting to my iPhone or iPad would be a great alternative. Does such a product exist?

back up camera

Hello,
Can you tell me the make, model of back up camera you purchased, the cost, and if you installed it or what shop might do this?

I live in Arizona and I want one to display through my nav system. I just don't know if I can install it myself.
Thanks
