little help with choosing a back-up camera...

I've been searching the boards for a while now.

All I have come up with is that I want the 120 degree viewing angel, and for it to not have the LED's on it.

I just want a cheap back-up camera that will work with my AVIC-D1. Any ideas?? Cheap is like $30-50 but I want at least some reliability and quality out of it.

I'd like to find this out too. A back-up camera for $50 would be my lucky day!

I can find tons of Pyle and boss camera's just can't figure out what the specs on them are. They are around $38. Can't imagine they are all sh^t.

They might be alright but I can't see them having great realibility for that price.

For $38 I'd give it a shot if you really want a back up camera. It sure beats $200 or more for a camera. If it craps out you're only out $38.

I've got one of the cheap Pyle cameras. It's not 120 degree though by a long shot.

Eventually I'll replace it with a wide angle. At night I can't see diddly back there on the camera unless I'm in a well lit parking lot.

The quality in the daytime is fine (It's a CMOS camera not CCD, which is why it's cheaper).

It's 108 but I've tried a 35 and the 120 that I am now using, and 108 would work fine.
