back-up camera on 2006

I researched the backup camera for a while before I purchased this one and couldn't be happier. My criteria were three: largest sensor possible, which gives the best picture (I am an amateur photographer and I know sensor size is everything); least conspicuous look (I don't like the LED lights surrounding the camera and such); easy installation (the thin connector means that the line from the backup cam can go thru gaps with ease, no drilling or cutting).
As far as installation goes you can go to a local shop or call Naviks for support.

There are several holes/gaps behind the license plate area where the camera wire can easily be threaded thru. It comes out behind the trunk lining. In any event you need to unclip the fasteners and remove the panels to run the camera wire from the license plate to the nav unit compartment where you will install Navisk. The wire goes underneath all the linings so its invisible. The real challenge is installing Navisk/other brands and tapping the power and reverse line. I think there are threads on this forum talking about how to do that part.

I know you were asking Jzdulexus, but this picture shows where I ran the camera power and video cable into my car...no cutting required.

I just did that on my 2007 SC. I used Naviks and this item from Amazon. It turns out like a factory install and integrated nav feature. You can see from the picture of license plate it is barely visible. The rear cam view pops onto nav screen when the car is put in reverse gear. It took me about four hours.

Can you be more specific re: the Vox camera (item number or link?). I googled it but haven't seen anything that looks right. Thanks in advance for your help.

I did the install too, everything was wired in the back with the naviks unit, you just need to get into 2 wires i believe from behind the dvdunit/computer, no need to run wires to the front. I mounted it above the license plate like how most factory cameras look but it was a pain, also ran the wire from where it was mounted through a hole or something under the trunk mat

I called Naviks and they sent me a PDF of install instructions as well as a number for a local installer. I've ordered the parts and might attempt it myself, we'll see. I'll keep you posted!

I used this Fry's electronics back up cam for $24.99, your choice of chrome or black finish. It works fine and video image is crystal clear.

The installation is not that bad as I described in my post #10. It took me 4 hours but if I have to do it again, probably one hour to hour and half is the most.
