Default Backup Camera ( AFTERMARKET )

I Just installed a Pioneer Avic D-2 into my ride with a backup camera. I'd like to change out the camera due to a bad image quality. Any of you guys installed an aftermarket backup camera which has good quality images along with a good horizontal/vertical widescreen views? I really like the quality the factory camera displays on Lexus's.

I saw a few on ebay:

Any feedback on this camera?

the one you linked looks really cheap. plus i would be hesitant to buy that if they can't show you pictures of what the images would look like if you installed it.....

Asides from EBAY, are there any other sites I can buy a good quality camera?

I didt a search and all I get is cameras for RV's and security cams.

Thanks in advance!

I had one on my DC Tundra. It was a Pioneer but i don't remember the model number. Payed about $200 for it. Picture quality was better than the Lexus factory one. I was way more confident backing up in that huge truck than in my lexus!!

I was thinking about installing that but never heard of any feedback. How are the vertical and horizontal views? Better than the Lexus? MadDave and all, thanks! Maybe Ill just get the Pioneer camera.

So I ended getting this camera.


http://www.autotoys.com/x/cust/produ...productid=6621

Video quality during the day and night are pretty awesome. Kinda Pricey but way cheaper than the Pioneer camera. The good thing is, no holes were drilled for this camera. If your looking for a backup camera.......look into this.
