Default Wireless backup camera?

I don't want to get too involved with crazy wiring and such, but does anyone know if there's a good wireless backup camera which can either bluetooth into a phone, or connect to the SYNC screen (I have the 4.5" screen)?

Realized that this truck is a bit bigger than my last one and I have an occasional need to back out of some really tight spots.

I bought one of these http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/c....aspx?a=508883

It comes with it's own color monitor that you plug into the power port. Works great, I gave it to a friend when I got my new truck.


Looks like sportsmans guide is out of stock but here's a link for the same device and it's available.

I don't know if all wireless cameras are the same but one I had would pick up every wireless security camera I drove past. The screen was constantly coming on. Some also get interference from other wireless devices in the vicinity, like your cell phone. It was useful but I prefer a wired one after having a wireless.

The one I posted above is just for trailer hook up. I wouldn't leave it on while driving because it might fall off if ya hit a good size pot hole.
