I've installed 2 of the Canadian Tire Wireless ones..
The signal input is very shakey.. as in lots of interferance.. so lots of lines cutting in..
but very good wide angle view though..

Stock install and use it all the time, it's a great option.

I would love to have one but not a fan of the wireless one Canadian tire has. Been looking on ebay for the last month or so. It would help plenty when hooking up to the travel trailer.

I have a Kennwood camera that interfaces with my headunit. I had it installed at the same place that did the system. Works as soon as the Truck is put in reverse. I will have to take some pictures when I get a chance.

I installed the Cdn Tire one (VR3) wireless backup camera on my wife's G5.
The back of her car is so high you couldn't see and the spoiler doesn;t help.
The wireless signal comes and goes, its not very reliable. So I have ordered the 25ft cable to hard wire it. Other than that, it works good and has a great picture when the signal is good.
I will post some pics (even though its a Pontiac) when I rewire it.

I used to have one, i think it was the Boyo or something like that that hardwired to my pioneer and just mounted on the license plate. It worked good but then it just kinda quit and i decided i didnt need it so i just returned it. Maybe if i could high mount one by the third brake light. Otherwise i just get a nice view of my hitch ball and trailer.

Thats a really nice setup. I wish my truck had something like that. Would definately be nice hooking up to the trailer.

You are more likely to hit the wall without one. I do not look at my screen everytime I back up but it sure comes in handy to have that extra check.

Agree
I can back up with in an 1/2 inch to the wall or another car or a trailer, plus back up sensors help.
Also green is 3', yellow 2' and red 1' that also helps
