rear camera pics

Finished initial rear camera project, put it in the tow hitch cover for now (have other ideas). I chased my tail trying to get wiring correct until
I realized that the reference everyone was pointing me to for the relay was to install camera if you already had TV module or ? (pin 30 to pin 17 on blue connector) http://www.xoutpost.com/attachments/g...g?d=1145492569 but since I was using a VSM (no pin 17 involved) this would not work. I got it to work by using two relays (second one eliminates camera interference) and following schematic on relay .

I have included some pics( first 3 are screen, rest camera); screen shots are not that great, taken with car sitting in garage looking up my driveway (had to reduce size/depth) but it does look good.

Yes, just used a PDC cover and took a heat gun to it to mold.

looks great, I had my back up cam mounted in the same exact place...it has saved me a few times, is it me or is very difficult to see out of the rear window? I use my side views all of the time and even with the PDC I was always worried of hitting something until I got the back up cam.
