I have one of these. Make sure you get the shallow one, the tall one will not fit our cars even though the sellers claim they do. Even the shallow one requires slight modification to fit, but fits well once complete. I'll post a pic later when I'm on my computer.
Carguy - I have one of the shallow ones (that Relentlessone noted is needed) I purchased off ebay but never got around to installing. PM me and I'll send it your way.
I have to say, I always thought backup cameras were gimmicky and useless... until we got the R-Class with one... and then the Odyssey Touring... and now, I'm a huge fan. Miss it in our other cars without one... :thumbup:
Hey Chase did you have to modify yours to fit at all? I had to grind down the tabs that hold it in place to fit over the thick plastic, and then cut part of the trunk handle where the camera mounts.

Yep, had to dremel is a good bit to get it to fit. Was a bit of a pain but well worth it. The only issue I have had is that it didn't fit super snug so there is a little big of room for water and other cr@p to get in there... giong to have to figure out how to create a seal around it.
is that tiny replacement light bright enough for the plates? or will it look bright on one side (where the original light is) and dim on the side where the camera and replacement light is?
I would not say its stupid chase. we are always trying to get more out of something simple. I would like to have recordings of like a caravan to a meet, etc.
I've got one that is in place of the keyhole. Works good, but I like the one 2000_328Ci has..Like the distance lines in it and you get to keep the keyhole.
