Default Monitor for extra cameras

I'm looking for a discrete place to mount a monitor for extra cameras since I can't seem to re-use the OEM sync2 screen. My top contender right now is a sun visor replacement monitor from Amazon - anyone tried anything like this?

You couild probably just buy a lockpick, it might be more expensive but at least you can use the headunit display.

I went with this monitor for my rearview TT camera, works great for my needs. I mounted it on a piece of 1x6 cut the same size as the dash top storage by the front dash speaker (use velcro to hold it in place). Easy to remove when not in use.

If you go with the sun visor monitor or the other one, please post pics of the installation procedure and final result.

I would love to mount so kind of camera on the front of mine. Everytime I park pulling into a spot with another car in front of me, I end up 3 to 4 feet away from them. Cant judge anything after the level and bigger tires, LOL

Lockpicks for sync2 don't seem to be available anymore from camera source, I believe they were having problems with them.

My concern about that is that someone might see it and break into the truck - I'd hate to get a window broken by someone trying to steal a cheap monitor.
