I don't know if anyone saw this because it was in another thread with a non-descriptive title.
The latest additions to my A/V system include an LCD monitor for the rearview camera, mounted in the headliner above the back window. As far as I can tell nobody else has done this.
One of these days I'm going to do a writeup about how much difference having a camera makes in what you can and can't see when backing up. I'm definitely sold on having one -- it will be a standard option on every vehicle I own from now on. In fact, I think I need one on my trailer too.
My guess is that you are using the rearview mirror when you back up anyway. What a better place to mount the screen so you really don't have to move you eyes all that much from your intended field of view.
Personallly I think it's a great idea.
When I back up I turn around and look backwards--I've had too many near misses to trust just my mirrors. Above the back window is the perfect place for the monitor so I don't have to turn back around to the front to see the screen. I can see at a glance, or even in my peripheral vision, what is right behind me. No more looking backward, looking forward, looking backward, etc.

Great innovation doubledeej!!
I stuck a convex mirror there to help me see that the contents of the bed remain secure (after TWO bungees snapped! ). But the monitor has taken it to a whole new level!
It's thinkin' and reportin' the details like this that makes the ROC what it is!
The best, most informative automotive site on the planet! AFAIC!
Keep up the moddin' dude! You ROC!
No, I sure haven't! Sounds interesting. If you end up finding it post a link here if you don't mind.
I'm not much of an authority, though... I don't actually keep up on whats current in the car audio/video scene that much. Since I'm pretty happy with the equipment I've got I don't have the desire to stay up on it. I'm a lot better helping with the principles behind audio/video/electronics than knowing what products are out there.

Is there somewhere else you're keeping the mods? I keep reading that you have awesome mods but the website isn't loading! I am specifically looking to add a power socket to the center console but would also love to check out all your other stuff!
