I bought the Boyo 405 (top mount ultra thin). Az also just started enforcing the state must be visible on the plate law. I also thought about mounting a switch so I could view while driving but decided not to. The unit works fine and has a 2yr warranty. Picture quality is not like watching a movie but is still pretty good and has a wide field of view. I would recommend this unit.
This isn't the exact same one, but you get the idea;

I'll snap some pictures of the unit mounted on my EX... as well as the screen shot from the Kenwood DNX 9140 it's connected to. Pretty Nice Head Unit as I can see the camera when in motion (full screen), or as a Picture in picture during my Navigation screen.
And yes... makes it SO NICE for backing up to that hitch when your only one set of eyes.

I too am using a "thin" mount Boyo.... Allowing the state to be seen, and it's a full plate frame with the heads of the nuts being countersunk (making theft of the frame a lot tougher).

I just bought and had the same system installed on my Ex with a new dvd player cause the factory stopped working, and the backup camera. Boy what a difference between it and the temp walmart camera I had on the rear. My camera is mounted dead center of the lic plate, then we tilted the plate for the right angle. I can see the hitch just fine for hooking up and then about 30 feet behind me as well, the camera I installed has a set of night vision lights to make it easier for night time and dark areas hook up.

jdadamsjr....
Watch out for some of those cameras your posting up... some won't do any justice in dark (even with backup lights assisting) and have horrible resolution or angle ability.
BOYO is a name I'd personally stick with for aftermarket cameras. Some manufacturers (like Kenwood, Alpine...etc) make a great camera but the cost goes up a bit.

backup camera in third brake light
Guys-
Just saw that the concept ram long hauler has a backup camera in the third brake light to help out when hooking up a gooseneck trailer. I'd like to have this on my 09 F350 SRW. Has anyone does this? I'd want to integrate into my factory NAV, too. I think there's an aux input available, IIRC.
Although I'd like to have a wireless camera on the back of my trailer, too. Decisions, decisions...
Can I have three backup cameras? What would the wife say?

Good thread. I was searching ebay and I might go with this one. I like how it is the mirror. You don't have to add another monitor. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-3-TFT-LCD...19.m1438.l2649
