Backup Camera, New Product

[Lenny]

I just read an article about former apple engineers working on a backup camera for cars. Since our cars are horrible to see when backing up I've been looking for a solution.

This sounds like a good idea. No wires to run, Solar charging, Smart Phone or tablet interface

The problem is as most Apple stuff it isn't cheap $500.00.

I have been using mirrors for decades. Have never hit anything and I move 15+ different cars/suvs everyday.

Hmm. Good idea! I like the wireless/less intrusive setup.

I think the DMC actually has better rear visibility than most modern cars (which now have pretty high rear decks that obscure visibility). The product seems cool, but expensive, and the OBDII dongle is of no use in our cars.

I was thinking about that when I read the article, and I'm wondering how we would fit a camera-equipped license plate frame on the back. I plan on adding a backup camera as a part of my stereo upgrade project, but I'm going to just drill a small hole in my rear fascia and mount one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...A1WY57GZC3POO3

For $17, you can't really go wrong.

I know that there are those who think that attacking the rear fascia with a drill is sacrilege, but even if I take the camera out in the future it's a tiny hole in an out-of-sight location that can be easily filled in if desired.

This will not be a plug and play option for the DeLorean. Quote: "The RearVision unit comes with a dongle that connects with a vehicle's on-board diagnostic port to help communicate..."

I've had an iOS backup camera in the Delorean since 2014...
