The keyhole cameras come with angle pieces that you can put in and make your camera face down to the bumper more.

With the OEM camera, can you see both ends of the bumper on the screen?

Thanks

Is that the factory camera? Did you put any angled pieces in order to make that so you can see the bumper.?

I just picked up the truck last night. That's as "factory" as it gets. Wasn't an add-on.....

I'm curious as to how that works with the hitch (i.e. can I hitch up alone using the camera?).......

Yes, makes it very simple. I hook up all the time by myself and always get it on the first try.

Oh my god Becky did you see the ball on my hitch with the new Sharp ccd camera. I dumped my cmos camera which had pretty much the same view for a hundred dollar Sharp ccd camera for both front and back, man what a clear sweet pic. I have no pics yet well I am kinda tired of having to delete and make them smaller. I will try another one of those free picture hosting sites anyone have a recommendation. I will wait till the front one is in. So one is sold already. I might sell the other but you will have to come up with a connector and some wireing as I used it. It is a 20 or so foot length of rca video calble.These cameras came with no wiring since it would just cost more to ship than to buy it at best buy. Then you will either have to cut off the connector or you might find one that fits on and old power supply for something , looks like a standard size I might even have one, i probably do we keep for some reason old adapter etc. not hoarding mind you but there is a basket with all the chargers and stuff so we know what we are looking for is there somewhere.
CCD IS FOR SURE THE SHIZZLE.
Front one replaced this early evening, last night I got looking at all the spots that get worn by things like the tailgate supports, so I got carried away with touching up scratches and putting that thick plastic protective stuff. I finally found it. I need to put some behind my mudflaps, now wear yet but just in case. Very sticky stuff.
