My backup camera
Here are some pictures of the PepBoys back up camera and monitor ($99). I added NdBFe magnets to the base of the monitor and to the underneath the removable dash trim piece using double sided table. The monitor can be easily moved (just held in place by the permanent magnets) to clean the windshield. The cable with slack was run between the windshield and the dash down to the firewall connector. The camera was mounted to the right of the hitch using a homemade Al bracket painted black (there is a hole in the hitch already underneath the sticker). The camera sits inside this "cove" so water doesn't drip down on it from the bumper. The system can be manually turned on by a button on the monitor and automatically turns on when you put the tranny in reverse. I can see about one foot behind the bumper out and the spare doesn't block the view.
