Default Installing a rear-view camera on a tC w/LCD on R.V. Mirror

I was tooling around on the web last night and found a Rear View Mirrors last night with a 4" LCD built in for $250 or so, Thinking of pairing it up with a rear view camera for another $100 or so. Visibility is kinda weak even with blind sport mirrors on the side, plus it's just a cool gadget.

Anyone does this? On any scions? Pictures would be great.

I'm thinking of mounting it flush so that it sits behind one of the liscense plate mounting holes from inside the hatch. Any drawbacks to this?

Yea, I searched for it and came up with it. m404 or something is the model. There are quite a few on ebay, some other brands too. Looks like you can get that specific one for about $150 or so. If you get other brands you can get upto a 6.5" VGA screen in the mirror, but they are kind of bulky. I'm really just looking for a 4"-ish screen in the corner.

I found a cam that integrates in the liscense plate holder, center top.

Should be nice when I get it hooked up.
