Adding factory backup camera?
I bought everything on Ebay. I used the Navics controller but there are several units available that are the same. I can not tell you the make of the camera but you need to find one with a square face to fit the finisher. I originally bought a used factory camera. It worked but did not show the guide lines. I guess they are generated from the factory controller and that also required adding the steering sensor in the steering column. I didn't want to fool with that so I bought a square camera that generated it's own lines. The aftermarket cameras and controllers use RCA plugs and I routed the wire from the trunk to the drivers side kick panel and under the dash to the controller that just fit nicely behind the screen. The RCA plugs just fit through the clips that the wiring harness go through along the drivers side, making it an easy run. It works just like the factory unit does. My wife loves it and I enjoy it when I get to drive her car. Hope this helps you.
The lines look off because the car was in the garage and the driveway has a slope to it. On a level surface they are straight. I agree that the lines turning on the factory unit are nice but don't think the difference in price is worth it. Had I bought the car new I would have gotten the option, but I bought it used and the camera was the only thing the car didn't have.
