So here are the links if anyone was wondering.

Here is the monitor: http://tinyurl.com/6jwnccn
Here is the camera: http://tinyurl.com/6fzmdps

I had enough RCA to run from the rear hatch, all the way up the dash board along the running panels inside the tahoe.

Grabbed my sabre saw and measure the depth of the monitor, subtracted from the cubby in the dash. and started cutting. Kept the bezel.

Slid that monitor into the slit that I created. This is how it looked.

This is how it looks in the dash.

Here it is with the nightvision. (Infared)

Here is the cam. Mounted right under the lip of the rear hatch/top of the bumper. Used security screws. Just have to paint the screws so it matches!

For $40.00, I was extremely impressed with the quality of products that I got. Anyways! Shoot me a message if you have questions!

Most people run it to the reverse. I tapped into the 4wd fuse for ign 12v. I use it as my rearview mirror. and have a switch to turn it off.

For the most part it is good. But mine has an odd camera placement behind the lens. So sometimes I don't get all the picture... But I have a replacement coming in!

looks good in the picture. like how you used that cubby. how is the camera holding up through the weather? i had a cheap camera that i installed on my F150. looked for until it rained. then couldn't see anything out of it. ended up getting a BOYO camera & it's been good since. i need to do this in my Yukon, but the price tags on the BOYO cameras are holind me back right now.

I bought one three weeks ago
Took maybe about less than an hour to install , hooked it up to my DD pioneer and its been working great
I drove threw the automatic car wash and camera still works and its been rained on too so this camera is durable and for the price no complains quality is nice too

clever use of the cubby, ive been looking for lcd's to replace it, but i think your approach is the way to go, nice and clean. i have my backup cam and sensors, just waiting to find an escalade bumper now....damn my list on on hold mods is long. my wife asked me the other day what all those boxes of parts were....unfinished mods my dear, unfinished mods....

Hey General would you be able to send me privately pics of how you mounted the camera and where you bought it..they blocked your link because of legal restrictions. Thanks.
