I gave some thought to lower area of number plate but that would have had me running a wire on the tailgate down under :dunno: :dunno: or drilling into the tailgate (yikes) to bring the camera wire in the tailgate and then out where the tailgate light wires exit.

So I just live with what I've got until I see a better solution.

Why you chose with wire? Much easier wireless!

I'm all ears for wireless recommendations and experiences people have had with specific wireless cameras.

I have one of those on my F150 and a similar one on my F250. Both work great. Perfect for trucks since the camera is closer to the trailer hitch.

I want the hidden look on my BMW's is why I didn't use one of those on them. But they will work fine.

Sorry can't give any wireless recommendations. I never ran across one that I liked over the reliability of a wired unit.

That was some time ago though so wireless tech has probably improved quite a bit...

At least as it pertains to powering a camera on the hatch of an E53, that looks like a lot of wires for a wireless solution.

How's the radio reception of this head unit compared to the factory unit?

Crowz 09-08-2017 12:45 AM

I cant answer for his but the one I added actually picks up better than the factory radio did.

Where did you buy yours from? Please post a link. Radio reception is very important to me.

Thanks!
