Here of some pictures of the camera. The first is a shot from underneath showing the camera replacing the right license plate illuminator.
The second is a closeup from the rear. The third is a shot from the back, and the forth is a picture of the license plate illuminator that it replaces. You can see the clips on this piece are identical to the camera, so it's easy to replace. No hole had to be drilled in the car as the camera wires can enter thje trunk area from pre-existing channels in the frame. Hope this clarifies your questions.....
The weather here in Canada is presently cold and snowy, so I'm not going to put in my Kenwood 9960 until it warms up a bit. I don't want to snap any cold plastic pieces. I did try the camera in the house, and the automatic aperature worked fine, but in very low light, the picture was grainy, but still better than the $80 Boyo license plate camera I had purchased earlier. For $18 delivered, in my opinion, it's a no brainer.
It is a straight CMOS camera with some blue grid lines as well as some numbers from 10-50, in increments of 10....It probably just gives an idea of how close an object is, and not absolute distances. It's not controllable like the Kenwood CMOS300 which is a $300 US camera. (for the fellow that asked).
