I ran a test yesterday since I’m doing wiring for power antenna and rear speaker, and with the rear camera sitting on the package tray you just can’t see enough; about half of the view is the package tray. The rear cam is nice and compact,, so I’m going to mount it at the rear windshield windlace at the top; I’ve snaked the wire down behind the passenger sail panel to meet up with the power antenna wiring, so will solve all of those together.
For the front I can sit the unit just in front of my dash pad, pushed up directly behind the dash vent; I should be able to route the rear camera wire and the power wire to it under the dash pad to keep it clean, and I can then remove the front unit when/if I want to. That provides a good wide view and you just see part of the driver wiper arm in the view. I don’t want to start tearing into the headliner/etc.
