In Reply to: OT - Back up cameras posted by Don S. on July 29, 2014 at 19:22:01:
I installed one on a 2003 Buick about 4 years ago and I like it when doing a trailer hookup. Even though the trailer hitch on a car is under the bumper and the ball is not visible on the camera, I can still judge pretty well with the bottom of the screen. However, with your Dakota a license plate camera should see the ball just fine.
I got my camera from an online source (Can't exactly remember but there are lots). The camera mounts on the license plate and I chose to use a hard wire connection instead of the wireless style after I talked to an experienced installer. Apparently there are always unexpected problems with the wireless signal. The power source comes from the backup lights. The down side is that there is a 1 second (or so) delay from shifting into Reverse and to when the camera comes on. I have got used to that now but if I do another install I may try a manual switch to do a power up as well as the backup light trigger. Sometimes I'd like to see behind even before I start the car.
My screen is the 7 inch size which I really like.
Also, my screen is designed to have 2 camera on it, so I could install a side mount if I choose, but I won't likely do that.
Good luck with yours. It really is not difficult to do a hard wire install and it is very reliable.
