License Plate Mounted Backup Camera

^ i disagree and not because i bought one. crutchfield has one for $80 wired, waterproof, with a 170 degree view ,and it's pretty good. the only negative i found is that at night it will throw a gritty picture but still maintains a pretty good field of vision. mind you, this scenario is on a 150ft. driveway in complete dark with no street lights. here are some pics and i have the exact head unit as you do. if you order this camera you have to buy a 25ft. video cord to allow some good distance to the unit. this one came with 16ft. and it won't work. wiring up was pretty easy. pos (+) camera red to reverse light (+) and black camera wire neg (-) to reverse (-) which i would recommend removing the tail light for easy access. now the reverse light can be tricky. i ran a 18 guage wire from the head unit (violet)? to the driver trim panel where the handle (2) bolts to remove and tapped into the (blue)? wire. there are (2) white connectors and it was the one closest to the driver. pm me for better details as i am drawing from memory and it's pretty shot. good luck!

here is a shot of the metal license plate camera. very durable feeling and has a nice black chrome finish

I am using a Boyo VTL camera tied into my Alpine HU up front. We did not have many options on Gen 1 (like the tailgate option on Gen2) and I did not want
to modify my gate handle for sure. So, plate option it is.

The license plate option works well, especially if your plan to just to see what the heck is behind you. They have full plates with camera, and they also have just the slim camera which bolts on top of the plate. More features adds to price, but, they run from $40 to over $100.

Amazon, ebay, crutchfield normally carry them. Just another type out there to consider.

Pic on my HU looking back. Rainy day outside and I can see fine with this setup.
