Not sure if thats the exact seller I had, but it appears to be the same camera I ordered.

I have the factory nav. Could you tell me where the head unit is? If the camera is installed in the rear, is there a/v inputs there somewhere I could connect to?

As you can see, I can see my bumper, which is a huge help when trying to get close to a wall or car when reversing.

BUMP!

Gotta a name or model for that camera mount from eBay?

Thanks Dungut. Your post and pics helped me install mine. I used the same camera.

Howdy! I'm bringing this thread back after 5 years! lol.

I just bought a '01 GS300 (first real car that I bought woo) and I was wondering how did you'll route your wire to the front? The PO wired an aftermarket amp through the passenger side doorstill so I'm planning on doing that but was wondering if there was a better way.

Thanks!
