So I picked a back up camera for the '06 to install today. $29.99 Fry's Special, but should work good. I'll be wiring it up to the Pioneer 3200BT that I installed last year.
Here is how I mounted it. Under the Licenses plate light I drilled a few hole in the plastic. I felt this was the best place, somewhat hidden and almost looks factory. I'll be wiring it up next. One thing I learned is DO NOT wire it straight into the back up lights for a power source. I did this on my sister-in-laws Escape years ago, and it worked great for many years, but over time it put stress on the circuit, and took out her Power Distribution Box. Cost her $500 to get it replaced, and lost the camera too.
