    Can anybody recommend a good and affordable back up camera for a Pioneer AVH-P8400BH?

    I've seen them range anywhere from $20 to $200. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with a particular one.

    Thanks.

    Can you not connect the stock camera to these aftermarket radios? And how do you like this radio? Thinking about getting one. Thanks.

    I love this radio! It has little quirks here and there with pandora but I have an older ipod 3gs so not sure if it works better with an ipod 4 or higher.

    The pioneer back up cam is around $200 but I've seen others for a lot cheaper just wondering if anybody has any experience with these cheaper ones.

    Try turning your head? :rolleyes:

    But seriously are you prepared to cut your tailgate and route the wiring all the way to the headunit?

    Yeah, yeah...I know what you're saying. I COULD live without, there's no doubt about that. However, I have a camper shell on my truck and sometimes it's a little hard to see when I'm backing up. If I could pick one up relatively cheap I would.

    I'll have to look into how much work and wire cutting there is.
