I have the D3 with the pioneer camera and it works great! The camera gives a nice wide angle view and has excellent night vision.

It's also small enough that I mounted mine in my tailgate handle !!!

I am about to drop the hammer on a D3 as well (today).

They seller suggested I buy this:

Anybody have any experience with the above (or any license plate cams)?

I would be interested to hear which camera people like best and what mounting location is ideal for boat trailering.

I'm using the Audiovox license plate frame camera on my D3 and it works great. The picture is nice and clear and I'm impressed with the night time resolution as well.
