Chevy Lover has a spectacular aura about

Back-up camera

I was wondering how good a $150 back-up camera kit could be, so I bought one.
I'm impressed! I just kinda put things in place to try it out and it has a great picture on the 2 1/2" LCD screen.
This should come in handy for hooking up to the boat trailer and backing into parking spots at the grocery store.
I'm gonna try the camera in a few different spots before I do a final install.

I put a broom behind the truck for something to look at.

RE: Back-up camera

I made some more adjustments today. I decided to mount the camera on the trailer hitch rather than the bumper and I think I found the perfect spot in the dash to mount the LCD screen.
I like toys.

RE: Back-up camera

Does it say anywhere in your manual/directions whether you can hook that up to another lcd screen. Reason I ask is that the in dash DVD player I just bought has an attatchment in the back to hook up an optional backup camera. I was hoping they were compatible cause where I live I could really use a backup camera.
