Wireless backup camera that can be viewed on your phone?

[rbenotti]

Anyone have any experience with this idea? The phone already gets used as a GPS anyway, so why not a backup camera?

I know with reading the camera's can be suspect (quality, the elements, etc). But for under $30 it would almost seem like a no brainer (I back the car in my driveway a fair amount)

I would assume you need to tap into the right wires (backup lights so it isn't always on, ground and a neutral?

That actually sounds interesting. Have a link to what you've been looking at?

Just one I found on eBay. Nothing outside that yet.

I bought my son one of those for a gift, it is amazing and works well. They had a sale when I got it, $399.

just get a regular backup camera with grid lines and use the other 488 bucks for something else

My thought as well.

I like the idea of a wireless one for obvious reasons (not tearing the car apart). Just was curious if anyone had ever gone that route. Not thinking so.
