I was just thinking about asking this last night.

Camera still works well, and it is worth the $100.

Not too happy with mine actually, I have got the fogging that was mentioned in an above post, and it really doesn't seem to go away. I have not done anything to try and waterproof it though. I need to try to take it apart and clean it out, then either silicone around the edges or superglue as I had mentioned before. Other than that one achillies heel, it works great, just make sure to take the time to waterproof it. As far as mounting it somewhere, I just sit it in my ashtray, and for the most part it is content to stay there on its own.

I modified mine to fit where the factory one goes. It worked great for a while. Problems arrised when I let my sister use it when her car was in an accident. I was out of town and she brought it back and it was covered with road salt. That salt damaged the plastic lense cover. It also had the moisture problems but I took it apart and cleaned that but the plastic lens cover is hazey. I guess you get what you pay for. So mine still works, camera works fine but the lense cover is messed up.

thanks everybody for info i guess i gotat waterproff mine and put some protection stuff on lmy leanse so it wont haze and stuff. I put mine in hole where stock VX camera should be it looks pretty good i have to figure out where i wanna put the screen.
P.S is that possible to connect screen to the reverse signal cable so it would turn on only when im backing up or no?
thanks

Sure is. I didn't, but you just have to find that reverse line up front, or run a new one for the back.
When I put mine in I ran a few extra lines to the front for future options

I love this thread!

I've often thought about hardware hackin a used digital camera with a built in LCD. Put the LCD on the dash and the rest of the camera in the back. All it would take is some shielded wire. Wire up a shutter switch and you can snap pics of where you've been!!

I've liked the idea of a cam in the back of a VX ever since I saw one here, while researching my lastest theft errr errm, purchase of a VX.

way cool mod!
