back-up camera

hello, new to the forum. my 2007 did not come with a back-up camera, called the stealership and they said they cannot install or retrofit a camera into the truck, as a "kit" does not exist. the wife could REALLY use it as she is short. anyway does anyone know if it can be done, and if so where can i get it. any leads would be apprieceiated. thanks...

Search for posts by Love My GL (Mel). He had his rearview camera retrofitted from a place in NYC, if I remember correctly. I saw it in action and it was very nicely done.

Good to hear back from you, Mel. And, sorry to hear about your down time. Hope all is well now and you are on the fast track to recovery.

We missed you in Vegas. Looks like there are a few more SoCal people on board now so Jen has been thinking about another GL meet during holidays. I agree with her
