    I'm thinking about a backup camera for my TRD. I've read the reviews (http://rear-view-cameras-review.toptenreviews.com). Here's what I would like:

    Price $220 or less
    View angle greater than 120 degrees
    Digital wireless
    Waterproof
    Night vision
    Camera does not fog up inside the outer lens (I've read about that in the reviews)
    Outer lens is glass rather than plastic so I can wipe off the off-road dust that accumulates
    Can adjust the up-down angle of the camera
    There's not a helluva lot of room in the cab to mount the display so I would like one with a rear-view mirror display. One that I can remove the stick mirror and simply replace it with the camera display mirror.
    If mirror display not available, then a 4.3-inch display that mounts to windshield with a decent suction cup
    If windshield mount, the display's electronics must not be affected by sunshine

    Hopefully some of you can reply with your experiences?? Both good and bad???

    Thank you.
