I purchased the VR3 Wireless Backup Camera from Wally World online, click on the picture.

So I stole your idea and bought the same camera, works perfect.
On first test I saw the strangest thing on the screen, my kids bunk beds? Seems that the camera for our baby monitor overrode the signal from the backup camera, scared me for a minute though. I used the license plate lights for the power to the camera, and stayed with the DC plug for the monitor, it mounted nicely on top of my brake controller. The camera came with a swivel mount, I so I didn't need to buy any new brackets, fit perfect, looks good, and makes backing up to the trailer a breeze. You can even change the picture orientation, so that when you turn the wheel right, it appears on the screen as right, so even my wife can do it now!!
I installed a 3way plug in the center console that I ran off one of the switched fuses in the fuse box. I hate having accessory power that stays on all the time, so I fixed that.
Thanks again for the idea, one of the best gadgets I have in the truck.

 

Has anyone tried to order and use the OEM camera (from a 2008 and up) with an aftermarket radio (Pioneer Avic series)?

If so what is the part number or the camera ?

 

I have the 08 and the rear view camara in the Mirror is great.
I like having it there then in the middle of the console. I can keep my eyes on the road at the same time. Works great at night too.

 

I'm having one installed. Dealer is sending it out this Thursday, Cost was $526.00 installed, do not know the model, but will keep you posted on how well it works.

 

My '09 Limited with navigation has the rear view camera displayed in the dash. The rear view camera is listed as standard equipment on the Limited '09.

 

I would like to know if anyone has wired their VR3 so as to run it while driving as well as backing up. I had heard that the camera overheats with constant use (driving highway long distances, ie) but am waiting to hear from the manufacturer on that one. Any help greatly appreciated, as I am very novice at electrical connections, etc. thanks!

 

Mine is wired through the rear lights, so if my lights are on, the camera is on. No problems yet, the worst problem I have is that the seal around the lens cover is bad, now I have water in there sometimes.

 

I have installed this unit from Costco for $79. Works fine. I tied it into the reverse light circuit and mounted the camera on the trailer hitch so I did not have to pull apart the tailgate. If you want more details - let me know.

Nice job! Any chance to get a pic of what the image on the screen looks like?

 

I do not have any now, but I will try this weekend.
