We have a handle based system that is more reasonable than the emblem and has a nice quality picture:

I have an ebay tailgate handle and an XO Vision camera hooked into a Sony headunit. Great resolution, sees great in the dark, just works. The latch on the ebay handle isn't as, lets call it positive, as the stock one -- but I like the camera, and the latch hasn't broken yet

Did that camera fit in the hole in the handle good? Can you see the hitch?

Yep, I used a fiber washer to get the fit perfect (painted the washer black), and you can see the bumper and hitch in the image.

Awesome thank you. I was hoping to find someone that had this set up so I knew I could see me hitch for backing up to my camper.
