Arrow 2003 sedan backup camera on factory navigation screen

I want to have a backup camera on my 2003 sedan navigation screen. every time i put the car in reverse i want it to turn on.

QUESTIONS: where to install the camera, how to make in work on the factory nav screen, how to make it turn on every time i reverse

i looked around and couldn't find a thread for that.
if anyone did this before let me know. or if i can get it done somewhere in the NY area

thanks everyone

it's the same as putting a dvd on your screen, only it's a different source. It may be a bit difficult to figure out a way to have it automatically switch when you put it in reverse - you will likely need a switch. You can wire that up so that you only have a picture when you reverse.
But do a search for watching dvd or external video source on factory screen on here. I believe you should be able to find something

Do you have a spoiler? If I was running a cam, I'd tuck it under there.

No, no spoiler.. i think the stock spoiler looks crapy... i am planning on getting the lip spoiler in the future

did anyone ever do this by drilling a hole in the trunk and doing it that way?
