Wireless rear cameras?

[Scott Forman]

Ryan,

Been there, done that. If you use a night vision camera with the
little IR "lights", it will be useless at night as all you can see on
the monitor is glare of the IR's on the window. However, there is a
solution: 1) Buy a non-IR camera (hard to find), or 2) cover the IR's
with electrical tape. I did option 2. The camera couldn't see in
the dark, but it was still better at night than the original one.
This was on my 82 FC.

I am going to do something with my 86 PT, not sure what yet.
