Yup. If you want to install it in the keyhole, your gonna have to sand it, widen the hole to create an enclosure, and seal it, because most (if not all) aftermarket backup cams will not fit in the keyhole location if you've ever taken it apart. (or fit reasonably flush as there will be a big gap)

I have a Eclipse AVN 6620 w/ BEC 106 backup cam. I luv it, but got lazy and just installed it under my trunk bar. On black, looks pretty flush. Just wish it came with an audible proximity beep function like stock. Oh well, it definitely helps and impresses people.
