I'm not sure your link helps him out all that much...the way I read his question was that he was just not sure which wires to splice into to get the camera to come on while in reverse...then how to run them...but thats just how I read it

thanks for the photos. That clears it up. I bought the same camera as you. I was going to attach it to the license plate, but I only have one bolt there? How did you attach it to the stock bumper?

So you drilled through the plastic on the bumper? Also which make/model camera did you get?

Thanks for the write up link. So Im assuming you guys just drilled through the bumper then secured it with bolts and nuts from behind?

Also does the VR3 have a mount easily allows you to detach the screen? I don't want someone walking off with it when I have my top down.

Also anyone have an experience with this one?

It seems better as the monitor automatically turns on when you are in reverse as opposed to having to switch it on yourself on the VR3.
