I have been looking at backup cams lately and came across a factory rear view mirror out of an 06+ Hummer H2 that has a little monitor that motors out of the side of the mirror when the vehicle is put in reverse. I thought it would be a pretty sweet upgrade but I don't really know jack about them or how to modify it to work in my older truck. Any thoughts? Here are some pics.

Once I get a job I will start buying all this stuff I want for my truck. I found some cheapo monitors on ebay and thought about mounting inset in the sun visor or something but this here looks a little more slick. I don't need a bunch of screens in my truck.

Ya that is what I don't want to happen, I'm tired of guessing as to where I am at.

If you haven't bought a GPS yet than buy one with the back up camera feature built right in. You could also buy a head unit with the back up camera plug built right in. They get pretty slick but either way you're looking for a device with a VGA input.

I plan on getting a back up camera and using my GPS to view it. I'm going to mount the camera as high up on the tailgate as possible.
