Rear View Camera
I was wondering if any 2Gen TL had this mod done. I have seen this done on 3Gen TL.
To start i have Dom's Navi to DVD Unit coverter an thinking about added a Rear View Camera. The problem is i think our license plate are too low an it's on Bottom of bumper an i wouldn't get a good view like 3Gen with license plate on the trunk.
Here some sugguestion i been thinking about doing.
1. Drilled hole into the trunk an make it look like key area to open the trunk.(since we don't have one ) Hope that not to hard to understand![Confused](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)
2. Drilled hole in my WW rear spolier
3. Buy view camera i can mounted an angle upward
4. Forget rear view an make front view

THANK ALot for all THE PICS....
Only thing now is i have WW rear spoiler so I cann't put camera there unless i do Option #3 or Buy me JDM spoiler w/ camera. Where can i go find one at? WEBSITES
I have try mounted it on 2 different spots an got a 1 new idea.
Spot1. Over the license plate is ok but, i get a very low of a view.
Spot2. I try putting the camera in middle of my third light, Only problem is at night no light when i put it in reverse an the view is pretty high.
3. Thinking about added me Shark Anttena an put camera inside of it w/ downward angle look.

THANK ALOT GUY
It's not hard at all. About hour for installed. You need Dom's Unit 1st for E-Z conncent. Only got hookup 2 wires the blue(power) and white(ground). An Yes it turn on, when i put the car in reverse.

Could somebody post a link to Dom's convertor? I tried searching for it, to no avail. I would be very interested in doing something like this when I get my TL... is it an expensive mod? Is there a specific camera I should use? What do you guys recommend?
Thanks!

What really kills you is the shipping from Japan, and now... it's very difficult to find it in Japan and so many dealers here in the US are not willing to do the leg work for you.
I might be selling my spoiler w/o the camera, but I will only know for sure in a couple of months once I'm done with my two projects. Another thing, the JDM comes with green lights in the wing, you will have to make modifications to the lights to be red, not a big deal.
Good luck!
