Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking to setup a rear backup camera. I'm wondering what's a good one? Also, for those who have installed or know, do our screens have reverse image/mirror image? Or did you get that feature built-in to your camera?

Here's a pretty informative article about back-up cameras:

Have a great Labor Day weekend!

so what set-up did you end up going with, the ACM module or the NavTV aftermarket unit? If it was the ACM, where did you get it and how much? Good luck with the install.


thanks

Still haven't done anything yet. Seems like the ACM route will be slightly more expensive. I'm trying to see if I can fit a half din DVD player under my CD player.

I read some posts about the ACM unit not working with aftermarket DVD players which would cause me to go with the NAVTV module.

As for backup cameras, it looks like it will be under 150 for the camera but the install seems pricey.

Reasons why I might not go with the NavTV setup are: warranty issues, possible poor video quality.
