I was thinking a clear or slightly smoked lens to replace the euro fog light and hide it behind there.

That's a great idea! My main concern is how to integrate the camera into factory NAV. Hopefully we will see some adapter /module to allow for this. Also perhaps a hack to allow video while driving.

That camera looks as if it really on good for backing up and parking so you dont back into anything. I think one in the rear fog light pointing up would be ideal to help with the blindspots

Look at this web site. Car Kit Company. They have exactly what you need. Unfortunately the Owner, Brian Langley is moving his business to the UK. He was located in New JERSEY.
I'm right in the middle of trying to get the harness from them.

They are out of stock for the harness you need that will go behind your head unit. They offer just the harness and you buy your own camera $125.00, or you can get the whole kit with camera and harness already for installer $289.00. I had one in my Z already and it worked great, but I uninstalled it so I can put Apple CarPlay in my Z with provisions for backup camera. Well, Apple CarPlay worked their backup camera connections did not. I'm trying to get another from Carkit company, hopefully soon but it's slow going since he moved to the UK.

How did you add CarPlay? I’ve had a backup camera installed for 12 years now.
