That is a great install.

If I installed a reverse cam though it'd be by the license plate mount or something. I'd want it more in the center of the car, because in that tail it sits a little to the right.

was trying to find a cam on ebay to fit the keyhole...Do you know the dimentions of the keyhole flange thingy... will this fit?

Item I found on ebay

Thanks

Be careful. I have experimented with several cams on my car from eBay and other sites, and majority of them have been ****. Even if you find one that has small enough dimensions be aware of a few other things. For instance, that one you just posted a link to only has 56 degree angle field of vision. That's a pretty useless narrow view in my opinion. You would probably want at least 90 degrees. Also, it says it needs 3 lux in order for it to display an image. That means if you are ever in a pitch black street that you need to reverse on, you won't be able to see a damn thing with that cam. You would need a camera with night vision (0 lux) in order to be able to see things in the dark.

The only one I found that had a decent combination of wide field of vision and great night/daytime performance cost me around $110. But it was way too big to put on the 8.

Again, if you are only interested in using it to show off or just for backing up your car, then I guess it's not a big deal. All I'm saying is that you get what you pay for, and that one right there is only 15 bucks.
