I have been working on a project for a few weeks now (Install was only about an hour, aquiring parts took a while)..

Anyways, I got it mostly done yesterday. the mirror is made by Gentex, part number 50-GENK242 or 50-GENK352. and can be purchased by a company called "mitocorp".. the one I purchases has auto dim, and an integrated 2.4" display.
As of right now, when I place the JK in reverse, this pops up on my mirror,


installation was easy as pie. the camera I bought off ebay for $20 shipped to my door.. it works very well in the day and night. during the day its a color camera, at night, black and white for low lux operation (if I switch on my BRIGHT reverse lights, the camera switches back to color.. the system has 2 triggers for activating the camera, one, is connected to my reverse light, the other I would like to install a switch so I can use it anytime I'd like.. any questions, please ask

 

this is a horrible pic.. but you get the idea.. when the JK is not in reverse, you would never know there is a screen in the mirror..

 

Where did you mount your camera?

 

Cool. That must be the one they are using on the 2010 Mustangs ..

 

camera is mounted in the center of the spare on my license plate. my plate was relocated there as part of this installation

 

and I read volvo and ford use this mirror on some of their models

 

that's cooli need something like that.since putting on the rear swingout tire carrier my rear view mirror is completely useless.
so i'm guessing the mirror was pricey?

 

those mirrors are like $400 bucks. There are some cheaper ones too. Those are the nice ones though.

 

AWESOME CAMERA !!!

I have a backup camera in my Jeep Patriot, I paid 99$ for the kit, and it's real crap

 

I'm curious what the $20 ebay camera looks like, mounted up. Can you take a pic? Thanks!
