Default Backup Camera
Want to install a backup camera in my WS6, I have the Pioneer AVIC D3 unit, just wondered what is a good camera for the $$ and where to mount?

The keyhole for the hatch would probably be a good place to mount it

Above the license plate, in that recessed area. Should be able to hide it best down there.

I put one right in the recess of the license plate. Offset to one side. I got mine on amazon for like $20 or $30. Had really good review and is the smallest camera on the market.

It looks okay but I should have positioned it not so recessed. I can see the top of the bumper when it's on.

I'll try to find the model number for you.
