Default Best back up camera option for 2010 H3

My wife and I will soon be proud owners of a Hummer H3 this coming Monday. One concern we had, like many others, is backing up safely. The rearview mirror is already equipped with a digital temperature and direction read out, so we would like to keep this feature. Can someone suggest any camera/screen combo for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just back up until I hear glass, then pull forward about a foot.

Sorry, I can't help with the original question however!

Welcome aboard!

You can purchase either a camera and and monitor that you can put on top of your dash or a camera connected to any DVD headunit of your choice to replace the factory 6 cd changer/player. Lot of guys in this forum are using Pioneer brand for better A/V quality.

BTW Congrats on your new Hummer.

lol thats funny.



To the OP:
You can buy an oem rear view mirror or after market rear view mirror that displays the camera in the left portion of the mirror when R is engaged.

Is it an aftermarket or factory?? The guy said he wanted to keep his current factory rearview mirror due to the Temperature feature and compass.

So are you suggesting that he purchased another OEM rearview mirror with TEMP feature, compass and cam view on the left?
