Is your tag on the spare tire or the hatch?

Either way, before you start the install, check to see if the camera blocks the license light. If it does, you might want to mount the camera on the bottom instead of the top.

my hummer is a hatchback

has anyone seen a wireless camera, where we wouldnt have to do the wiring?
my dad would rather not have to deal with it in his car

cibrlx01- Thank you. That's a good price especially including the LCD. Is the camera a good quality? What type of lighting does it required to operate? The website doesn't specify much.
