Does anyone have an in-car camera in their convertible? I have a '98 GT 'vert and am thinking about putting in front and rear cameras. I don't want it to look too ugly. I'm thinking the front may have to be mounted on the passenger side "A" piller since my driver's side has gauges. Maybe the dash it's self will have to do. As far as the rear I may mount it onto the rear of the passenger's seat so that I can get a wider view to include some of the side. Anyone done this? Or have any thoughts?

Well, I broke down and bought this one for the front only. I'll look into a rear view one a little later. This looks really nice and I just got a $10 discount from Amazon so now I can buy the GPS too. It will show my speed. This is 4K and has wi-fi. One of my sisters gave me $200 for my birthday so I'm going to spend it on a cool toy before I change my mind.

What is the intended purpose of the cameras? Russian drivers use them for catching bad drivers and comets.
I have a Peak (like the antifreeze) back up camera that mounts across the top of the rear plate. It could easily be hooked to a manually switched power source instead of the back up bulbs. It is super helpful at times. My only complaint is the colors on the camera or screen have gotten funny after several years. So if it is hot, the trees have hot pink leaves.
