[QUOTE]The one thing I like about this mounting place, it cannot be seen. Even if you're looking for it, you pass right over it because you think its the trunk key. I took some day pictures this morning, they look real good. I'll post them later.

I wonder if USB cameras would work if you had the carputer setup for them?

Sweet job!
Could we bore out the Mazda key frame assembly that the cylinder fits into and make it big enough to insert the camera? Thus, you would not need to grind down that round adapter to fit the hole. Looks like the camera is separate and fits into some cylindrical adapter. I would just be trying to fit the camera into a modified OEM trunk lock part.

oh....now that I see you did it...yeah....mine was the same way essentially. It's a night vision camera in the key hole. As for the keyed entry...I kept keyed entry into the trunk, I just relocated the lock. I needed to retain a keyed entry since I don't have any locks or handles on my doors...so my only backup is my trunk! 
Good job though on the install!
