NAV-TV makes an adapter for like $60 you can buy if you just want rear view camera capability. You MUST have your dealer flash your head unit to accept a rear view camera, mine did it free of charge as it takes 5 minutes to do the flash.

I purchased a $27 camera off amazon and it's worked great. I've been in mud and water and rocks with no issues.

Here's what you'll need:

Everything plugs directly into my 730N unit (I believe it will work with the 430N too). All that's needed is a trip to the dealer to have them enable the backup camera feature on the unit. Let me know if you have any questions, the install is pretty easy. Toughest part was running the wires to the front of the car.

Brandmotion makes a backup camera that integrates easily with you factory display, no NAV TV or Lockpick required. The kit mounts seamlessly behind your spare wheel, with the added OBDII programming module, you don't have to take your vehicle to a dealer to program the computer.

If you are interested, here is a link to the kit (part number 9002-8827): Brandmotion.com

I installed the Brandmotion kit over the weekend. Install is very strait forward. I did mess up one part. I put the pins in in the wrong sides of the 22 pin connector and messed them up trying to pull them out. It was my fault. I was impatient and used too big of a screw driver to get them out. I called Brandmotion and explained what happend. They FedExed me new pins and a new 22 pin connector. They were very responsive and great to deal with.

I have not had much of a chance to test the camera out but Ii seems a little dark to me.
