Wireless rear cameras?

[Joe Garner]

I just put in a new camera, used one that I got on
Ebay that just fit in the opening in the bezel. A
few small angle bracket to hold it in and it looks
pretty good.

No problems with reflections cause its mounted to
the outside...

One thing, on my '87 PT the 'window' was plastic
and so worn and frosted you couldnt see through it!

Replaced the CRT monitor with a LCD (also from
Ebay) and now have color for the rear view :}

Ive got photos if anyone is interested...
