There are a few threads around on how to do this, but I started with a simple reverse camera that operated off the rear reverse lights and plugged into a GPS. The cables are easily hidden and after much deliberation I decided on putting the camera underneath the rear door handle and running the RCA video plug through the rear door, under the carpets via the centre console. 100 KG bond sticking tape to secure the camera and I kept the screws, just in case. Camera no#2 runs to a cheap LCD screen with 2 inputs and the camera is located underneath the rear brake light high mount, again through the rear door, up the side paneling and under the carpets, powered by 12 volt line with fuses. (rear cam 2 is for freeway changes), front cam is powered by a switch next to the spotlight driving lights near the steering wheel and connects to the lcd panel when turned on.Quote:

The freeway camera (for safe overtaking in wet, dark or blocked rearview situations) is slightly more expensive as it will be on all the time.
Great for tight car parks.
Tools:- Cable ties, electrical tape, voltameter, solder iron, screwdriver set, rca video plugs 8 meters, 6 meters and then another 8 meters. Wire strippers measuring tape screwdriver. Upholstry fitters tool, digicam, printer (to print the location of all the screws you have pulled out and use clear double sided tape to adhere them to the page). A straightened wire coathanger.
I'm not good at how to do type things - but I did install the sound system in the car (however the cabling for most of it was already there).
If you would like some photo's let me know. Most of the things needed you can get from Supercheap, Autobarn, Jaycar, Ebay and bunnings.
