in the Sponsored Sales area you can buy the parts required
A plug and play harness adapter is avail- $150 plus the devices
you can run 2 things- like a dvd or game player AND the rear camera on demand- not just reverse, off the system

Or you could get one from parts store for 99$ that is wireless and fits on top of lic plate in back- not perfect but effective at preventing child or animal run overs

I want one with 2 mile zoom to check out suspect vehicles moving up the right lane with no lights- guess who uses that move!

This has been thoroughly covered on here: 3G TL Audio & Electronics FAQ.

Check out my DIY (linked in the FAQ). It has the parts list and where to buy them. kennyc also has a good DIY.

Good luck!

Those wireless units cannot be integrated with our Navi screens without a lot of custom wiring work. You'd wind up with an addtitional screen hanging out on your dash, not my cup of tea.

For those with dark tints, on a budget, and needing some rear vision because the neighbor kids are now mobile and constantly dart behind the car right when you want to back out...

I dont think a 4 inch screen tucked down off the dash is so bad, compared to the option
