My rear view camera

[VXorado]

So for everyone that has done the rear view camera install what would be a good option for the VX stock camera position? Thanks :-)

Spend the extra $$ on a CCD camera, the clarity is much better... and a square assembly will fit the best in the OEM location.

So um I had to research CCD and CMOS and found this:

These are the cameras I was looking at:

Thoughts?

In my experience, the CMOS cameras will look really faded out in certain light conditions which had me adjusting the screen brightness constantly. I ended up turning the camera off permanently because it only was usable half the time. You could try one since they're cheap but you'll probably have issues at some point.

Personally I would go with something more like this:

this one might be too big (didn't check) but it has the leds for IR night vision.

I don't even have a ccd yet because of the cost but I will be buying this kit and fiberglassing the screen in the lower dash. I'll use the second camera as a front trail camera... or something .

LB, my camera looks a lot like this one you listed:

It had a sleeve around end that came off, and a screw on clamp that went behind the sleeve with a raised lip on the lense end of the camera. I took the little plastic panel out of the half-moon and drilled it out with a hole saw. I lucked up and had one the perfect size. Then I slathered on some clear silicone and inserted the sleeve. I pulled the wires through the sleeve and then the camera. Then screwed the clamp on the back. I haven't messed with it since then.
The one thing I will say is at the angle it is at, you can only see right behind the VX. If a car is behind me at a reasonable distance I'll never see their bumper. I fish eye lense or a different angle might help that. I just use it for backing up so I don't really care. It is handy for backing up to a trailer though.
