| dj4hire | I've installed a new nose camera after the dealership scraped the nose during a oil change. used a license plate camera system 
Cut the camera off the bracket leaving the mounting bolt holes that I used to mount it on the car 
Bolted the camera on under the spoiler to give it a low profile 
Image of object 5 feet from nose of car. Image is displayed on Alpine 7" retractable DVD screen. The camera is activated by a button above the audio speed button next to the radio. 
Picture of object 3 feet from the nose of the car. 
Picture of object 6 inches from the nose of the car.

| dbudner | Good idea. Pays for itself with 1 avoidance for sure.. |
| jjprowler | Very nice! I was thinking of putting one on the back of mine. |
| pumpkin | Great idea. |
| 1buddyc | Pretty slick, Dave. What did the unit set you back, if you dont mind me asking? |
| ondone | Is the dealership going to repair/replace for free? |
| dj4hire | I bought the camera off Ebay (of course it's like wallmart on the internet) for $135.00, I already had the retractable screen with a camera mounted in the grill. When I replaced the grill with the chrome one the light reflecting off the grill washed out the camera. The dealership is working with me to get the nose repainted this winter when the car goes up for a couple of other interesting modifications that I have planned this winter. ( don't want to spoil the surprise or just in case it doesn't work out) |
| GOATFALLS | PRETTY COOL!! |
| 1buddyc | Thanks for the info, Dave. |
| ALLEY CAT | Buddy > didn't you tell me you had one of those camera's already mounted in the bedroom closet?

| Gary C | The first time I used my back up camera in my truck I backed into another car, go figure. :D |
