Default Will get pics up tomorrow, it was very easy to install.

I wired the camera to the reverse lights so that it only works when you put the vehicle in reverse. The signal is sent wirelessly to the monitor wich can be mounted on the dash or whereever you want. I put mine on the sun visor so i just close it up when not in use. The monitor can be straight wired to the fuse box(which is how i did mine) or it comes with a cable for hooking into the cigarette lighter(power adaptor thingy). The model is VR3or Virtual RealityVideo Labs. The actual model number is VRBCS300W. Picked it up at Wal-mart for $79. The monitor is 3.5" LCD and the camerea is 2.4ghz wireless. Comes with all the wires and connectors that you need to mount the camera anywhere you choose, I chose right in the middle of the back bumper. YOu can mount it with the liscense plate with NO drilling. I will post pics tomorrow. I know this is not the factory back-up but it works great. I have used it at night in dark areas and in parking lots already and it is well worth the money.

Would the camera works with any monitor? Or it has to be with the monitor that comes with it? Thanks

Are they only available at Wall Mart?

I have the pioneer bc2, I believe is the model. I use it on my dvd headunit any headunit with the video input usually it will work with it. I agree its a must on the h3. I almost killed a little kid yesterday in a parking lot. He ran away from his mom while she was putting stuff in trunk and I was getting ready to back up I looked down right before I was about to go and I saw his face looking into the little camera lol. It was funny, but I just thought how bad it would have turned out if I didnt pay to have it installed.
