Put some light on the car (external source or pop up flash) to focus. If it's too dark (and it was), the camera will not be able to distinguish where the subject is. That will cause the camera to hunt. A quick trick to gain focus in low-light conditions is to put your BB Curve on the point of focus. Use the light emitted from the phone screen as a point for the camera to focus on. Good luck with the rear installation!
