Rear View camera

Where's the best place to buy one? What should I look for as far as quality? Brand? What else do I need other ten doms nav2tv to go and the camera?

You will need that, some A/V cables, time, patience, and some beer. Wendy's camera on eBay probably is the way to go. Search for it here.

From reading on other forums this one seems to be the best.

I've installed and tested 3 different backup cameras on my car, and the one that I found was the best was Wendy's cam.

This is what it looks like..
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=150206974666

The reason I chose this one is because it provides a wide angle, and is the most visible at night. I can see clearly at night with just my stock reverse lights on (even on a pitch dark street). Similiar to the factory cameras you see on other cars.

Try sending Wendy a message on eBay. Her user ID is swm902.

I don't see her posting any for sale right now, but you should message her to see if she will have more up for sale.

I don't think she changed the name of the cameras on her listings. You just have to look her up by her name, and check under her items for sale.

She has other cams for sale but none like the one I am looking for. I sent her a message, though.

Waterproof

This is the one I got because i wanted one that was waterproof so I would not have to worry about it getting wet in the rain / washing / etc.

Is that the original camera? Its giving me problems periodically now with white screens and colored lines across the screen. Think moisture got in there or something wierd.

Looking for a replacement that is compatible with the wiring for wendy's cam.
