Has anyone ever installed an aftermarket backup camera in a minivan?
I don't know why I do this to myself, but I gave my wife one for Christmas for her Chrysler T&C. The camera screws to the license plate in the middle of the lift gate, but is actuated by the backup lights. So--you have to thread the wires from the center of the lift gate up over the top and down to one of the backup lights. Which means pulling all the interior panels loose. The right side will be easier, 'cause the motor and mechanism for the power lift gate is on the left side.
The monitor in front will be simple. I'll just put it in the lower left corner of the windshield and run hard wires through the door jamb to a terminal in the fuse panel that goes on and off with the ignition.
A line on the box says, "Installs in minutes". Yeah, right. But, I like to do a professional job instead of just stringing wires out in the open. A passenger car would be simpler because all the wires are right there in the trunk. Ironic part is, the photo on the box shows it on an SUV in the middle of a lift gate.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
