Here is one from power acoustik that has back up sensors in the camera unit.

Thanks for the info & the HUGE pic, but I want it mounted about the same view as the regular rear-view.

But I might put one in the rear tow-loop plug later.

Some of the new Ford trucks now come with a back up camera installed in the tailgate handle and have the monitor built into the rear view mirror. It just looks like a ordinary mirror until you shift into reverse then a small square on the left hand side appears and it becomes the screen. The screen is almost invisible when not in use. I priced one out and it was rediculiously expensive to order the parts. Cool option though.

I would like to have a camera on the bottom of the rear spoiler. Just still trying to figure out how to do it for a reasonable price and look good.

I put mine in the tow hook cover panel. (The little removable square of plastic on the left side of the rear bumper. I didn't wan't to cut the original one that came with the car, so I ordered a replacement from the part desk. Cost about $5 for the part.

Downside is that it is not a central view.

I think I've seen a kit at one of my local Costco that is wireless. The camera needs to just tap into power somewhere in the back of the car, and the monitor runs on batteries or cig lighter. Not sure how good the unit operates, though.
