Camera mounting locations?

I'd love to see some pics.. I've seen the roundel, but I'd rather not do that much drilling. The taillight mount from EAS looks cool as well. Maybe a bit too obvious? (or because it just "looks that way")

I like the BMW factory location, but not the price. How about using the EAS camera mounted down low next to my trailer hitch? Mount it on a metal bracket of some sort, tucked in real neatly?

Thoughts? Other pics of alternate locations?

Hello,

I've installed my backup cam right next to my license plate
no drilling required.

Thanks! Looks great. Questions:

1. Camera; I like the location, In my case, I'd want to angle it down a tad more to catch the edge of the bumper if possible. (to gain perspective)
2. How is it at night?
3. VSM Module? Easy install?
4. Source for the camera?

1. you can still adjust the angle (move up or down)
2. back up lights are bright enough at night time.
3. VSM module, very easy install.
4. I got mine from group buy which was on this board few months ago.
