I really would like to put a backup camera in the trunk key hole. What camera is a good camera to get and where to get it? Anyone know what a good quality one will run? Also when you remove the lock mechanism can you reinstall it if you remove the camera?

 

Ive been researching this also as the Eclipse camera is to big.So far I ve been told to find a "Lipstick Camera".They are universal with any HU.Also I dont see why you wouldnt be able to reinstall the lock if you wanted to.Will try to find a link for the camera..

Heres 1 I just found..A little pricey but seems to be better quality than some of the others Ive seen..

That is a good looking camera, I noticed it has 525 lines, and from what I read on another forum that is pretty good. $250 is a bit much for something that wont be used too often but if the picture is good then I wouldnt complain.

I know there are others on this site who have done this, just would like some recommendations on where to purchase and what to look for.

 

I found one here for $240.
Keyhole Camera

 

theres gotta be ones for around $100 bucks, btw how are you going to hook it up to the nav screen?

 

I dont have the Nav, I have Kenwood KVT-915DVD headunit

 

Do yourself a favor and pay for a good one. I have one made by SAVV and it works awesome. Nice picture to it as well.I am updating mine to the "bullet" style camera so it fits int he keyhole without seeing the ring around picture.

 

Do you have a link to where you are getting the camera from and how much it is?

 

I sell them lol. They sell for around 225-250/ Just find a SAVV dealer near you.

 

Thanks for the info. Im not sure if I have a Savv dealer near me but I will check. Is this pretty easy to install?

 

Is this the one you are referring to?

So I guess $250 is the sweet spot for a quality camera..May just have to pony up as the Eclipse camera is too friggin big for what I want and it cost about $180 anyway..

 

Yup thats the one.

 

Since you are a dealer could you hook a fellow CL member up with a good deal?

Have you seen the picture from this one yet?

 

Thanks Jeff for the great help
