The thing is, they are all made in China or Japan, so depending on what you want, wired or wireless, night vision ort not, they are all about equal. Sure, you pay a little or alot, but paying more does not guarantee better in this situation.
You can spend $100.00 or $15.00 and get the exact same BU camera.
Most distributors buy them cheap by the boatload and sell them at a premium price.

Get one that does what you want. For the amount of time that it is used, no need to spend big $$ on them IMO

You have a convertible. Just put the top down and turn your head.

Just kidding. Do you have a head unit that has a rear camera input? You can pick up a basic backup camera for like $20 all day but you need something to view the image on. If you don’t have a head unit that can do it, you will either need to replace it with one that can or have a separate monitor just for the camera.

Dennis can help with all this. I just got a new head unit and it's all pre wired and ready to go. He can hook you up with anything and wire it for ya I'd guess.

Any Kenwood BU camera will last a long time without the lens fogging or discoloring. I have run them for years without issues. Dennis is the go to guy here.
