2005 back-up camera location?

[mercmountaineer]

I just installed a pioneer avic-f90bt in my 2005 explorer. Now I'm lookning to put in a back-up camera but don't know what location or which one. Can you please post pics of where you mounted yours and which model. Thanks in advance for your help.

here is a picture of mine. it is a hitch cover that has a camera mounted in it. the second picture is of one that uses the license plate bolts to mount it.

A lot of kits have license plate frames with the camera built in.

Let me know how you like that unit. I know it's very buggy right now, but the hacks available for it are absolutely astounding. One thing I can't stand about it is you can't go into a "direction up" mode in 2D. That is a huge oversight that needs to be fixed by Pioneer. But they have a new update coming out soon that might possibly fix it. It's definitely aimed at reducing the boot time

So far it's been in for 2 days. Very happy with it. A few minor issues but still well worth the price. The new software should fix many of those issues. Check out www.avic411.com . www.sonicelectronix.com has it for 750 including harness and mounting bracket. Good luck, hope that helps.

This is the best option.

We need Jon to make an Explorer Forum license plate frame with a built in camera.

This is where I have mine located. Me and a buddy both have the same hitch cover, it is just a little 2x2 square with a hole cut out for the camera.

I just ordered one on a plate frame. While at it, I also ordered new headrest with 8.8" screens. I'll take pics after its all in. thanks
