Anyone have photos of their back up camera install? I'm considering installing a flush mount back up camera but that requires cutting into the rear bumper cover.

Before I do I what to see what everyone else is doing. Perhaps there is a better way. I'm looking for a clean factory looking install

I know some aftermarket head units comes with a backup camera which is built into the frame of the rear license plate.

I was considering something like this for the rear bumper. You can flush mount this above the license plate for a clean look.

For the guys using the license plate frame camera. Where are you running the wires? Small hole behind the plate?

I had a license plate camera installed through NavTV:

Wires routed through hole behind plate through bumper and then through taillight. No cutting.



Through taillight








From taillight through interior rubber grommet

Not a flame, rather a sincere question.

Do you guys really find it difficult to back up the car simply using the mirrors?

It's not hard to back up. The car is small and has decent visibility. Honestly.... I have back up cameras in all my other vehicles and have grown comfortable with using them. Thought it would be a nice add to the 911
