Re: Where to mount a rear view camera? ** Now with DIY Guide **
Nice install Chris, but the only problem you will find later on is that it will be greatly affected by the dirt on the rear window and sun (light) reflection of the glass on the camera itself. Try it at night with another car parked behind you with the headlights on and you will see what I mean.

Re: Where to mount a rear view camera? ** Now with DIY Guide **
Well I must admit it's good and bad but I can't give great feedback as I haven't really used it that often because I've had the display out for a while so I can change the mounting. From the limited time in use I can say that yes as Jalalski says it does suffer from some glass reflection but the dirty glass is not much of a problem. When I get more of a chance I am going to try and shield above the camera to limit the light shining on it. All that said it's still quite usable as you can always see if somethings behind the car.
I really think that reverse sensors with the audio warning are probably better than having to continually look at the display and eventually that's what I will do with both working together. Hope this helps. Cheers.
