Default back up cameras
Have a 2012 xlt screw and want to put in a backup camera. I have searched around but cant seem to find one that I see that I like yet. I dont like the licence plate ones as they look pretty tacky.

Think the screen would mount in the other cubby since I have the TBC?

I got a OE camera that goes in the badge and the screen is in the rear view mirror. Wired it with a switch so I can turn it on or off anytime.

Roughneck, did you use the existing rearview mirror?

I'm pretty sure they don't just come with a screen in them without a camera being attached. It's a camera and a different rear view with back up screen in it.
