Aftermarket backup cameras?
KopperBuck:
Just bought a new head unit for our Dodge. It was completely stock, and finally bit the dust. The unit I purchased has camera capabilities now.
Tailgate isn't an option, are the license plate ones worth a rip? Better brand than other?
I'm also looking at a stand alone possibly for hooking up our goosenecks. I'm tall enough I can see it ok, but my wife hates hooking up by herself. I'm just not real sure on placement. Even a flush mount on the toolbox would be too dangerous. Maybe hanging on the bottom side of the headache rack? How close would I really need to be to make it effective?

I am on my second $35 license plate camera from amazon. The first one lasted 2 years, this one is on year 2. If I have to replace them every year for $35, I am ok with that.
I would recommend the wired option and not the wireless. With your truck (mine is a long box) the distance from the camera to the head unit is a little far to get a clear picture all the time. The 2nd one I bought, after the 1st (wireless) one died, is wired to the camera on the plate. Clear crisp picture. Works like a freaking charm.
edit: they increased the price some, but I still think it's a great deal for what you get.

I'll need to get the name of mine, it's been great. Put it on my 2014 2500HD in 2015 and never an issue.
