Default Good place to put LCD screen in non navi CT200

Hey everyone, wanted a back up camera but I have the non navi ct200.

for those that have the non navi version, do you have any suggestions as to where i can mount a small LCD screen for the back up camera (in a not so obvious) space so that my windows wont get smashed?

I haven't taken delivery yet but from the pictures it looks like the cleanest would be to wait for a double din kit and swap out the radio for one with a lcd and feed the camera in that way. if i take out the head unit will does that also remove my Bluetooth or is that separate?

another easier way was to use the phone mount to hold the lcd screen but i hate having wires everywhere

install a rear view mirror with the built in screen but from what i read here and from product reviews.. its hard to see in the day time or the mirror itself is hard to view? anyone have a one they recommend?

any other suggestions?

My friend has one that mounts on the back of his visor and when up you don't see it at all.

I have other Toyota products, i.e. a 2010 Tacoma truck, with back up camera screen embedded in the rear view mirror and have no problems seeing it day or night.

is your rearview lcd a factory option or an after market? can you provide the model # for your rearview?
