Could you also post a link or more info on how you did the back up camera? I have a 2002 GS430 with Nav and I would love to have the backup camera

Thanks
Michael

THIS! How did you get the reverse camera to work? I have OEM navi as well and would like this feature.

Congratulations on your 430. It took me about 4 months before I found mine.

thank you for the pics, i have been kicking this idea around for a while now. do you know how exactly the box is mounted to the rear deck lid? "L" brackets? also how is it insulated, i mean from the top of the box mated to the bottom deck lid? thanks again for any more info you can provide.
