Back-Up Camera Recommendations?
I want to add a back up camera to the beast and would like to make the addition at the same time I have everything torn apart to do my CIC Retrofit. I know a number of folk here have added a camera with aux video input- what are the different components that have been used?

Thanks!

Post #7 is the one I used. Haven't had any issues since install. A the time it was the thinest one available. Good idea to do this when you upgarde the CIC. Will save you another removal/re installation.

Internet and DVD in motion and other CIC goodies

Search through threads for user whatheheck, he has an Alpine backup camera wired on his Beast.

Actually, this may be the thread you'll want to see: Audio Video Integration project complete

From that thread...

Components:

Video Interface Module from ModMyNav.
Pioneer ND-BC4 universal rear view camera.
Alpine HCE-C105 Back up camera
