Rear Camera Install
 
Just got the Rear Camera hooked up to my Kenwood DDX418 Head Unit.

Figured I'd post pics because I'm really happy with how it came out :)

Can you see it?

Here's a Closer Look

Wires are run through the trunk panels, then through the kick plates up into behind the dash. honestly, that little nook in the back is absolutely perfect for the back-up cam.

Here's the HU

What camera do you have? Is the square that shows all camera or did you fabricate a mount?

It's a Kenwood CCD-2000 camera with a fabricated mount.

It didn't look right showing all the camera, due to the odd shaped corners, so the portion of plastic that was cut out of that bezel piece from the Z, was painted matte black, and glued to the camera face, only exposing the lens of the camera. A permanent marker pen was then used on the cut out edges of the painted piece mounted to the camera.

it was then fastened to mounts installed on the back end.

It's solid, you could kick it and it's not moving.

Do you have any pictures of the backside of it? I've got the CMOS300 and don't really like where it's mounted right now.

I don't have any on deck, but I can see if I can take some.
