Best to do a search for backup cameras. The pictures have been posted so many times most of us just don't want to bother anymore.

I mounted mine in the passenger side inner backup senser hole, that way I didn't need to drill metal (the hole is there, under the plastic). I've had a pop out screen with a single din headunit mounted with double din adaptor, and presently I have a double din headunit.
Pics, but again, just search.

I am using the roadmaster wireless, didnt work well, lot of static, called the tech line and they said the pickup bed interfers with the signal. Told me to send my unit (camera and receiver) and he would replace with unit that could be hard wired. Must have been my day, he included the wiring which is an $20 option. I am impressed, It works great now, plus the new camera is adjusted by just pushing it up and down. All I paid was postage. Thumbs up to Roadmaster and their great customer care.

I am using one and I love it! I got a Kenwood camera hooked up to my Alpine W205. I had the camera mounted dead center atop my license plate.

I am having bad interference and the color output is very awkward. Sometimes it looks like heat vision if that makes sense, inverted colors, etc. I am using the popular ones off ebay, it used to work so well I am wondering if water or dirt got inside my RCA connections?

I tapped into my fuel pump hot lead unintentionally and that caused negative effects to the picture, now I've ran my own hot lead (ign only) to the rear and still don't have a good picture. Anyone have any advice? Possibly a bad ground or is there interference along the driver side of the trucks frame, where the RCA cables are ran and then under the firewall and into the cab. What kind of shielding can I try?

I've had it for 6-8 months and it works well. I think I paid $97 or so.

You could also get something like this, but not sure how good it is?
