Back Up Camera

I'm looking to install a back up camera. I'm looking for suggestions. It sure would help when hooking up my boat trailer or backing into a space in a parking lot. Would a factory piece be available? (rearview mirror) Anyone install a cheap Ebay unit?
Thanks, Chris

I picked up a aftermarket one on a close out sale cheap for my '07. Mounted the transmitter ant with tape back behind the rear seat side on far right rear of cab, extended wires down through hole and to rear of truck to a plug. I added a long set of wires to camera that normally mounts to the tag, except I made a light sheet metal bracket that hangs over the edge of the tail gate and points down and the Undercover will hold it in place. When needed, I take camera out of a storage under rear seat and sit on tailgate, hook plug in, and then just plug the screen in and turn on. From that high point, when towing my trailer, it also allows me to check on the trailer as desired.
