I had no other place to put the camera unless I drilled a hole in the body kit. Now I have to use the trunk lever up front to open the hatch, no biggie.

Thanks for all the praise, it really means a lot coming from you guys. I'll make sure I post an update of any changes, especially in the trunk, which should be done soon.

Is that camera waterproof? How did you seal it? I'm just wondering about what happens in heavy rain or when you wash you car how it holds up.

atroopnoy · 06-25-2004, 06:07 PM

The camera is waterproof, I got it from this guy on Ebay. Here's the link Reverse camera. To prevent any water coming in, I lined the front of the camera, the part that is in contact with the hole, with some some extra sound deadening material I had laying around and screwed it into the back of the key hole. This method seems to work because I haven't had any water come in, I even sprayed water directly at the camera with a hose.

This is what the camera looks like....

He is also offering an infrared camera that switches from color (during the day) to black/white infrared mode (at night)

frodobaggins · 06-25-2004, 07:57 PM

I like it, looks good.

That's one of the nicer CRX's I've seen. I see a ton of ricer CRX's that are just pain slow, ugly, and stupid.

I just hooked the camera straight up to the lilliput. But, has anyone found out a way to switch the lilliput to the camera when you throw it in reverse?
