Default SCT Livewire with backup camera added

I am considering a tune for my 2016 Mexican F150 XL hybrid (whatever you want to label it) and the Livewire seems like a good product.

I am wondering what brand cameras people have actual experience with and how well they interfaced with the Livewire.

I plan on mounting a camera at the top of my shell unless people with more experience at this suggest a different location.

Thanks for any feedback.

So, I have had the tuner in for a couple of days and in the Auto mode for the rearview camera it won't turn on.... I have to do it manually.
I wonder what it would have done if it was wired to the existing display.

Of course, it isn't giving me an option for tire diameter or revs, either, but I hope to figure that out.

So far the big change is the shifting.... it is much smoother.
With the built in sport and tow modes on the truck I am not sure how much of a difference I am getting with the programmer in regular mode.

I need to spend more time with it.

Right now I am just leaving the rear camera on since it is kind of nice to have that vision behind me in addition to the mirrors.

I'm just asking out of curiosity, why did you use an aftermarket factory look camera instead of an OEM camera? They both mount the same but the OEM is $75, well they were when I added the front cam to my 2015.
