In the first post it says I need an Onstar LCD mirror. How do I know if I have one of those?

Your profile says you have a 2010 Camaro. Unless your mirror has been swapped, you do not have a Onstar LCD mirror. GM only installed those in 2012 2SS Camaros.

Hello,

I live in Germany but I'll visit my sister in the US soon.
I have a Camaro ss 2010 (mexico Modell I think). I would like to install a backup camaro.
When I'm gettin it right, I need http://www.ebay.de/itm/152468758971?...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT, camera (where do I get it from?), video cable, power cable and adapter Harness (where do I get it from?).
Of course I could buy the complete kit, but 460$ seems so expensive, since the Mirror costs only 100$.

I put one in my 2010 2SS Camaro in 2014. I got the complete kit from the company Gen5DIY. It came with a new mirror, camera and wire harness. I didn't have to buy anything else. I don't know if the German Camaro is different than the US Camaro. It was a plug and play kit. I hope this helps.

I ordered the camera kit for my 2010 2SS, in preparation looking for some feed back.
Since we know the back up lights are not centered, which makes the camera a little off center from the pictures I have seen if you center the camera evenly between the BU lights.
Has anyone tried to install the camera so it's centered with the car, which would make it just a little more to the right in the BU light area?

Appreciate the feed back

I mounted the camera in the center of the license plate.

Thanks for the feedback, it makes me feel better in trying to mount the camera in the center of the car.

Received my camera kit and installed it yesterday, really like the new wiring harness, works like advertised love it, thanks Ofer for your expertise in making this happen.
