Default Rearview Camera

I have $100 gift card to best buy. so i was thinking about getting a back up camera to hook to my pioneer 4300DVD.

I was looking at getting one similar to this but it's a Sony one for $120 an for some reason it's not showing it on the website

http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/det...=1218572402310

or possible a license plate camera like one of these

http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/det...=1218477900208.

any of you guys had any experience with these cameras or would recommend another one from best buy? also if you have this HU an have a camera hooked up to it you really like feel free to tell me where you got it from. thanks!

Only get one that is recommended for your head unit. I tried that before and the quality was horrible. After 2 months it looked like you were looking through a frosted glass. I'm currently wiring up my rearview camera that came with my F250 Step tailgate.

When I got mine, I bought the 14.99 one that hooks up to the license plate and it works pretty dang good so I'm sure the one you get will be even better! its so nice backing up and hooking up a trailer with no ones help!
