License Plate Rearview Backup Camera?

Has anyone installed this: http://www.amazon.com/Boyo-Vtl200C-L.../dp/B001DFZ5U6 I know you would also have to purchase the interface which I would get from Mid City Engineering.

I've seen these before on other cars and its a little sloppy. The way its positioned, you'll see exposed wiring going into the trunk unless you bore a hole behind the license plate so you can run the wiring that way.

You dont need the Mid City Engineering interface unless you want VIM for your DVD player.

You may need a video cable to go from the trunk to the command unit, you will definitly need an RCA to FAKRA adaptor.

So I can get the license plate camera
Enable it in engineering mode
- RCA extension cable. 6ft should be good enough. $10
- 2002 and up REVERSE VW/BMW antenna adapter (EURO A107) $15
(make sure you get REVERSE adapter) Radio Shack
- RCA female plug only Radio Shack
Is there a adapter made yet so we don't need to Soldier?
