Yeah, I don't think this mod has ever been done. Go for it Spaceboy!

The FIRST two links from a google search of "Acura TL Backup Camera" are:
Link:
Installed my backup camera

DIY: Backup Camera with Dom's TVandNav2Go PNP Install

Or, on the very FIRST page of the Audio, Bluetooth, Electronic, and Navigation Forums:
Link:
Rear camera installed... (lotsa pics) 3G Garage #I-154

And if you don't want to remove the rear seat back, like in the superspeed video above, you can try this:

Are you adding the backup camera to the factory nav screen? Or is a different screen required?

Can you use an OEM camera?

Those links are dead, or they don't use the OEM camera. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the OEM camera with an aftermarket video switcher that has a video input? Or if it's possible to find a camera that mounts in the OEM location? I've been using one of those that mount behind the license plate, and I'm looking for something more factory-looking.

For oem setup you need the 07-08 Tl dvd drive installed in your trunk
Then add two harness
you can buy the first harness but other harness has to be constructed/made
