Back Up Camera?

Does anyone know of a good quality aftermarket back up camera that will fit the factory tailgate handle for the 04-08 body style?

The one that I found was a Audiovox CMOS camera. With a little Dremel tool mod the camera will fit and use the supplied lock ring. The output lead has neg. and pos. to connect to B/U light wire.

The clarity on his kankles747's really is great, I was really surprised. It seems better than the one my brother bought even and he spent way more than 20 somethin.

You should be able to find one at www.tascaparts.com for a good price. That, or you might find one on ebay. I found mine in the classified forums on this site.
