Gave up on backing sensor added camera

After trying to find some cheap OEM sensor without luck I went out and got an IR camera, 15ft of RCA cable and added a second camera to the Ex.
I am using the first camera instead of the rear view mirror because i have a 15" roof mount LCD on the 2nd roof and windows are limo black tint so at night I can't see out the back anyway.

the 2nd camera is on only when the ex is backing up. it is low enough with the 120 degree lens for me not to run over anything.

This won't solve the problem of the back up sensor unless you are willing to add a monitor up front.
