How were you looking to do it? Use one of those cameras with the 'u' shaped brackets or a standalone camera in a small angled enclosure?
Took me about 2 days to finally convince myself to pry up the panel for the radio! And then I just took a peek and put it back together! I almost had a heartattack when I had to drill a hole in the firewall to run a 4awg wire from battery to computer!
I was thinking on using a waterproof wideangled coloured ccd with ir camera with a bracket mount of some sort. Then perhaps epoxy some very strong permanent magnets onto the base. The stick it up under the spoiler. Only problem is that, I don't want it to fall off and fly away! I don't want a hole at all, and I don't want to make it look stupid. The only other things I can think of, is put it inside the car on the back flat area, but dark tint, and spoiler would render that pretty useless, or get one of those crappy liscense plate frames with the "El Cheapo" cmos, non ir camera built into it. I was looking on eBay and the ones that I find with the IR are pretty big, and would look a little funny hanging off a spoiler, and the small good ones have no ir. I am looking to completely replace the rearview monitor with a 5-7" lcd that takes the rearview picture always. I don't know though...
My other thought was to actually go to the dealership or a reputable installer and ask them to stick in the trunk somehow with a warranty or something so that if they screw up, then I have someone to go after other than myself.
Maybe if I can find a cheap spare trunk (
) then I can hack that up!
