It's a pain to setup, you have to add lots of specs of the trailer into the vehicle, and use the paper targets.

Available in starting in 2010 IIRC

First 10 seconds of the video are silent. Just FYI

Why not create a remote camera that "docks" in the glovebox (who stores gloves there anyway?).
It should charge off the vehicle while docked.

When its time to back up the trailer, you suction cup (or clamp?) it to the rear of the trailer and it live feeds video (wirelessly) to the screen in the truck.

I've gotten pretty good at backing my 30' camper into the parking spot at the storage place, but I'm always nervous that I might bump the expensive motor home next to me.

This feature could save a lot of marriages too... ... ... ...
