The camera mounts on the license plate but I already have a led light bar mounted there. My plate lights were rusted out. This was a quick easy fix. So I am considering mounting it in the factory spot in the half moon.
I wanted one with the display in the mirror. Not sure if I can mount this one on the mirror and if I do this one plugs into the cig lighter. I would have to run the wires under the headliner. Not sure if I want to do this much work. I am also not sure if I want it plugged into the lighter all the time. It would be nice to hard wire the monitor also or maybe just install a hidden power port.

Any suggestions or input from anybody who has installed one already is greatly welcomed.

Thanks, Mike
I put this same camera in my VX. There were no stock wires in the rear door, But I was able to run the wires from the camera through the rubber boot in the hinge into the jack compartment to a harness plug in there that I tapped into.(All the light wire are in there) Was able to make it look like a factory wire job. The hardest part was mounting the camera in the half moon. (It just didn't look right) and the screen was hard to see. I kind of found it to be useless and removed it and bought a new half moon piece and I am back to guessing whats behind me. LOL
