Backup Camera Installation
Here are pictures of my recent backup camera installation. Good friend of mine did all the legwork finding equipment and working bugs out with his install. Made mine really easy! Camera and monitor are from the big online auction site. Camera is set up for license plate mount, but this blocked access to emergency hatch key use. He modified the included mount, but I fabricated a new one which is slightly smaller and allows for camera angle adjustment. Monitor is 2 1/2 " color screen and mounted with 3M tape. The set up was wireless as received, but we hard-wired as picture quality was better. Good set-up for way under $100. Neither have had issues with camera location.

Thanks for the PM. I actually went on to that website and was browsing before I saw your message. I think I'm going to go with a different unit, the biggest problem I'm having right now is thinking of a place or a way to install and hide a larger monitor. When I get it done, I'll post pics.

If you wired into the back-up lights, I have a question. I tried to wire back-up sensors into the reverse light wires but there was not enough slack when I pulled the bulb socket out of the rear of the light to easily get to the wiring in order to connect the wire from the sensors to the reverse light.
How did you go about it?

I managed to get mine affixed to the driver sunvisor after a few other attempts in different places.
Kudos to the OP for a nice set-up.
