back up camera!

anyone on here have a Peak backup camera? my local autozone has them on sale and you can get the 3.5" for $50 after a mail in rebate. anyone have one on their truck? i hate backing mine up out of parking spots. i read a pretty nice review on them and it said it was deffinately worth it but the install can be pretty tricky on some vehicles.

I've had one for a while. It's ok. I have the camera mounted on the license plate with the tilt down wedge. The monitor is on the suction cup mount on the rear window. The transmitter is behind the left taillight. The transmitter is encased in RTV for waterproofing.

The signal has some interference. It has to travel 8 feet and through a steel panel. The camera shows directly behind the bumper and NOT near the corners of the truck.

The monitor mount is cheap. I am currently making a better bracket.
