Default Quick Question

Hey guys and gals,
I have a quick question. I'm looking for a rear view cam to hook up to my Pioneer DVD touchscreen HU in my 08 F150. I have an XLT without the backup cam in the handle. What I'm wondering is if any of you know if this would be able to fit in the handle...if I were to just purchase the handle. The stock camera set up is VERY expensive so trying to avoid that. I would just get a license plate one, but I'm planning on using it for hooking' up my trailer...and I have heard the license plate ones don't work so well for that. So please let me know. Thanks!

I want to do it, too. What kind of Pioneer HU do you have? Let me know what you end up doing. Thanks!

I have AVH-P4300DVD. I haven't been able to find enough on this topic to actually do anything. I see a lot of people are turning to ebay for the cheap camera's on there, but if I am going to do this, I do not want a cheap @$$ camera in there, plus it would be bad @$$ to have the factory camera with the bars for distance...but I'm still researching if it is even possible..any info on this would be great!

i think thats a way over priced option. im not saying go with a chinese ebay knock off but not this high priced. back up cams are becoming more normal so keep looking you can find a better option.
