davea180 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I want (need) a backup cam on my '14 DJ. I would probably install the OEM cam where the liftgate license plate light panel is. I will not be altering my 4.3 radio in any way and want to add on a monitor. I am looking for suggestions on brand (if you already installed one) and mounting location for the monitor. I would probably look for something on amazon or ebay in a 3.5" to 4.5" range. Also, just to throw this out there, I saw a photo of a DJ where someone installed a monitor in their overhead console. I don't have a console, but would buy one if possible. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance, Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Here you can see where I put my monitor. The definitive version (no photo yet) it's much better than what you see in post #13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davea180 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 So the monitor is approximately 4" diagonal? Do you think I would be able to get by with a 3.5" mounted near the roof or even a 3.3" in a rear view mirror? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yes, my monitor is 4.3" (exactly the same size than the useless one above it), with the bezel it takes a few mm more on each side. You can try if it fits with a paper (or better cardboard) template. From a quick search on aliexpress a 3.5" monitor has more or less the same size as a 4.3" one, I couldn't find any 3.3" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
