Default REVERSE CAMERA

Does anyone have a recommendation for a reverse backup camera. I have NAV and have watched the videos, BUT noone seems to be recommending a camera. I'd like to stay as stock as possible while mounting in license plate area. Have GTCS and don't want to changeout spoiler.

Just so you know. I did not find any pre wiring in my car. I purchased the sync lockpick and used this camera for mine, except mine is black.

The picture quality is outstanding. When I get in my wife's cadillac cts and look at the reverse camera on that, It is actually poorer quality compared to mine.

When you got to Nav screen was there a plug in and for that matter what about backup lights is that where you took power?

The sync lockpick allowed me to just plug and play all the wires with no cutting/splicing. It was not cheap, but it was clean and simple and you can remove it if you so choose without leaving a butchered wiring system behind.
the backup lights were powered by the head unit when you activate the backup.

No worries.
I routed my wires under the back seat, under the carpet where the carpet meets the backseat and I came up through the middle console and directly to the back of the stereo.
