Backup Camera in 1st Gen Camaro Rear Spoiler?

[Larry Callahan]

Has anyone seen a backup camera worked into the rear spoiler of a first gen Camaro?

I have an Anvil CF rear spoiler and I think I can make it work.

Have you done it or seen it done? I could also use a recommendation for the camera with a standard RCA type connection.

I have one installed in my 2nd gen with an anvil rear spoiler. Don't see why it wouldn't work on a 1st gen. I have a 1st gen with one in it too but I put it in the taillight panel below the key. The 2nd gen I used a rearview mirror with a monitor and the 1st gen I used a double din screen radio. I can send pics to your email if you want?

I've wondered about a backup camera in the keyhole for the trunk... and use a trunk popper... looking forward to pics!

[raustinss]

Thought the same with my chevelle although I'm willing to bet the angle of the keyhole wouldnt be ideal

Put mine right under the rear bumper. Barely noticeable. Works great. Screen is on the rear view mirror. LED backup lights were needed to see at night.

Smart! What cable did you run? Any pics of the routing?

Lokar hood and trunk release cable.

I ordered a Pyle "bullet" camera a few days ago that will work with most double dins, If it fits I'll let you all know. searching 'bullet camera' on eBay had a number of options and surprisingly cheap.

Did it work? I am looking to get this camera for my setup.

It's "ongoing". It's a lot smaller that the keyhole, so finding the right 5/8" bung to help fit it is where I'm at. I have some that kind of work but not good enough to my liking, I'm one step away from drilling out the key mechanism. If I was willing to drill out the keyhole on the bodywork to a clean 1" hole it would be significantly easier but I want to keep the body as it should be so I can revert back to a key if I ever deemed necessary.
