Default Backup camera with non-nav radio

My wife drives a 2013 JKUS with the no navigation radio (not sure what the model number is, but that doesn't matter) and has mentioned wanting a backup camera. We'd love to throw in a 430N but can't justify the cost at this point, so we are looking at stand alone options. Dash and windshield space is very limited in these things, so I was wondering/hoping if any of you had a stand alone camera screen mounted in a useful yet non-obtrusive way. I'm thinking certain models could fit nicely in the crap catcher (whatever it's called) in the center of the dash.

So does anyone have a nice setup they'd like to share?

Look at a rear view mirror option that completely replaces the rear view mirror. They have a little screen built into them. Takes up no more room.

I have this. Works great. Looks stock, inexpensive.

In the ~$450 range, you can knock out a few things via Superchips Traildash. It will integrate with a camera ($20-40 on amazon) and auto-enable when you go in reverse. Plus has a bunch of other cool features to justify the purchase (tunes, tire size, gauges etc). I installed the traildash over the weekend but haven't had time to do the camera.
