I've been searching for a rear back-up camera for my TSX but haven't quite found a decent looking one...nor have I figured out where to mount mine (I think the license plate frame camera's are ugly).

I was curious to know if any of you guys/gals have one installed and what's the quality like?

Thanks in advance

 

I've done a couple flush mounted through the license plate and also to the left or right of the plate itself, also flush mounted into the trunk lid.

 

streeteffectz, have you ever installed it onto a CL yet? just curious if you have pics... even of the tsx would be nice

 

Really?! That's awesome. Didn't think of having the installs done on the sides. Pics would be nice if you have any to post. Also, what camera do you recommend and install on the TSX's?

 

If you wanted a clean install you may be able to knock out the key thingy for the trunk and use that hole to mount the camera behind the hole.

 

Cool... how would YOU recommend waterproofing that?

 

very carefully

 

Bubble gum....

 

naw, i think saran-wrap will work better

 

Actually I did this exact install on my Grand Cherokee. A little fabrication for a bracket and some silicone and it worked perfect.

 

My boy just got the Pionner one , it works well.

 

REally...I saw that one, but it's like $175.
How does it look at night?
Do you think it's worth $175?

 

The camera's I use require drilling a 1" hole - the camera flush mounts into the hole and is held in by a large, flat nut (yes, the housing of the camera is threaded) - I put a rubber gasket around the inside edge of the camera to waterproof it (the camera itself is waterproof already, this gasket is for keeping water from getting inside the car around the edges of the camera) - and for added measure, I silicone the inside around the camera.

 

hey street do you have any pictures of your jobs with the rear camera with the 1in drilling?
your work is pro by the way.
