i would really love to go OEM on this one but the camera just doesnt seem right on that location.

some information would be nice too. did you install it yourself? how did you route the wires from the camera to the nav? since its oem i am sure its plug and play and no splicing, did you get it from russell?

What I want to know is did you drill into the trunk yourself? How big of a hole did you have to drill?

Wow that looks terrible. Not only does it look out of place but it doesn't even match the car.

i'm sure you can find a license plate frame that will house a back-up camera and be SO much less aesthetically obtrusive.

wonder if you actually drilled a hole in the trunk for it too?

not feeling the location, nor the color, but cool concept!

If it was me I would do like the BMW's and put it above the licenseplate

yeah you can get a generic camera and plug onto the back of the nav, its been done. people with generic camera's have installed it dead center and on top of the license plate, its in between the plate light.
