sounds like we wont be doing anything this weekend...game on!!!
Hello All,
I'm late to the party again. Busy with work and all sorts of stuff.
In march I purchased a 2008 Eddie Bauer. The wife wanted a Bluetooth compatible head unit, and I wanted to add a rear camera. Did some research on www. Crutchfiled.com.
I wound up buying a Jensen HU that came with a "free" camera. Took about 3 hours to swap out the head unit and install the rear camera. The hardest part of the install was "fishing" the power and video cables under the headliner up to the front of the Ex. I chose to install a switch (In place of the audio in outlet on the dash) to operate the rear camera. This way I can turn the camera on whenever I want - whether backing or not.
The Jensen camera is great. I mounted it in a location similar to Mtondero. Running the wires through openings already in the tailgate. I had prvioulsy installed some flashing LED's (Whelen LIN 3's) on each side of my license plate, so I had no problems pulling the tailgate apart.
Hopefuly this weekend I'll get some time to wash the Ex and take some picutres of the HU, camera and the additonal Whelen emergency lighting.

I see this is just the camera. Does anyone have a source for an inexpensive monitor for it?
