Default Back Up Camera
I have a Alpine ilw-650 head unit in my 2010 GS, just wondering which camera is everyone using. Don't like the license frame ones, wanting something more like factory mount . Any recommendations? Also in running the cable to the head unit.

I just ordered that exact same backup camera for the system I’m about to install. Great write up on installing it as well.

I need to find out which one the sound shop installed for me. You almost can’t even see it......even when you are looking for it.

Can a camera be installed to work with a 2008 3LT factory head unit? Or did the factory head unit not have that ability in 2008?
