I have my license plate mounted in my spare and wanted the camera a bit lower besides.
I ran the wires through a grommet below the stock jack and attached to the receiver on my aftermarket bumper.
This location also makes it easy to back up to a trailer.
It stays put with three little magnets for several years now.

My backup cam set up is Mito camera,Gentex 3.5" mirror with sPod system.
This period I don't have reserve tire so I installed the camera with a "windshield mount" in the center of my Spyder Poison tramp stamp. I think is the best position for backup.i can see exactly where I am.
Mito cam is the best! It hasn't led light but the night is so bright and the day is just perfect.

Just ordered the spare tire mounted camera from Crux Interfacing. It appears to be plug and play. We will have to wait for the install to see if it is as advertised.

Install instructions are SO extensive! Will update once in install. For $230 hopefully it is as easy as they make it out to be.

it is not convenient, however, and i have to find another point.
the previus point was perfect and it helped me so much for the parking that now i think i am doing back to the blind!

I put mine in the stock spare tire carrier with an electrical elbow pointing it out between my wheel spokes. Its nearly unnoticeable after painting it black and is out of the way for removing the spare. It is just a cheap $15 camera but it works great for me. I also wired it to a switch so i can turn on the camera while i'm driving to check on my trailer load if needed. May not be for everyone but it is perfect for me. sorry, i know they are not the greatest pics.
