Do you happen to have a link? Also what camera did you end up going with?

So a couple of questions for you since that was the route I was thinking of going.....
Have you noticed any differences in angles when using it there on the far side next to the tail light assembly? Just wondering as its offset if that will make any changes while reversing into a parking spot? What camera is that and hows the quality?

As for the install I think using a relay and hooking it up to the reverse may be the way to go so I dont have to route more wires to the front, etc.... Do you have a link for the install process? Any down fall on going this route to the reverse lights in picture quality, etc....?

Yes, it works great for my needs and that's what's important to me.
Here is the camera I used https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chetoo-CCD-...i/283324892003 It has built-in illumination which I found (before my lower aux backup led) to be very helpful in darkness. Without the relay, the video in my situation was choppy and not consistent with the engine running. With the engine NOT running the camera was flawless (without the relay). In the end I used the relay set up as a matter of necessity. Mike

There's a receiver module I mounted behind the aftermarket head unit. Plugs into the RCA camera input that was already in the connector. It also needs ACC power, but easy to find there. Quality seems quite good, but I haven't compared it to being directly connected.

I mounted the camera on the hitch cover and ran the wire through the battery box with a grommet to seal the wire. Camera is on a swivel bracket that allows me to adjust it. Camera is in the equal distance from the parking distance sensors. Nothing to take apart and everything is easy to get at if there is a problem.

If running the relay is the way to go Im fine with that. Do you happen to have instructions on how to set it up with a relay? By the way does your turn on only when in reverse? I think I read some people having the ability to view even when not in reverse? Just curious
