Can anyone recommend a backup camera for my gen 2 roadster?

Wolfbox works pretty good for me
Wolfbox G850 Pro in mine. Its voice activated controls/commands (keep your eyes and hands where they belong), and you can adjust the rear camera up and down - which is a great feature. This allows you to adjust the camera down to see curbs or parking blocks when backing into parking spaces, and then adjust the camera back to a higher view to see vehicles behind you when on the road. Watch Amazon, their always having sells on them. I would recommend buying a OBD adaptor and running the camera power supply from there. Eliminates having to run wires from the fuse box - seems like Vipers don't like having their fuses messed with

Kenwood double din in-dash
I have a Pioneer single DIN flip out with CarPlay I got from Best Buy and use an amazon cam plugged into it. One pain is that the rt10 cabin is fully sealed from the trunk, so it was a pain to wire out down out of the trunk and back into the cabin. Tried twice and ultimately had a audio shop do it. I have seen bluetooth ones where it's wired in the back and in the cabin there's a screen that connects to the camera via bluetooth. Would have been much cheaper, but mine works as it should.
@ViperFan1 Do you know how they did it? I’m trying to figure out where to run wires without drilling.
Initially the shop wired it coming out the underside by the frame and then into the trunk, but that quickly melted the wire near the header. Then they wired it correctly through the interior under the center console and then back to where the wire look connects from the cabin into the trunk. Gotta take the tire off and peel back the fender liner to see that. Saw this when a buddy and I recently rewired everything with new speakers and amp. Pain in the butt either way you do it. But mine works flawlessly now with the CarPlay head unit.

I’m using the stock mount, I have the 930 which is only 10inches and I fell it’s almost a tad too big too. The 900 that you have is 12 inches if I’m not mistaken, so I’m sure it’s seems too big for sure. I’m thinking of making a dash mount for it to help get it out of the way and still be able to use the dash cam part.
Interesting, I didn't even know 930 exists. Honestly I don’t know anymore what to do, the 900 is for sure too big for what I need, which is dash and backup camera and parking monitoring.
I got the Thinkware U3000 to test but I’m struggling to figure out how to do the whole hardwiring.

It’s been a while but I think I hardwired it off the radio power. I ran the wire through the passenger side using 3m to hold the wire against the pillar all the way over to the mirror. It isn’t 100% hidden but decent enough, no one will notice unless they are looking for it.

I installed this one in my Gen-5 and it's worked well so far.
UNIVERSAL MULTI-CONFIGURABLE AHD/CVBS CAMERA KIT - EchoMaster
FOR USE WITH ANY VEHICLE!
Just know that it's not going to be "perfect" - and I definitely wouldn't trust the edge lines, unless you like paint & body repair.
I had mine installed just so I could see behind me w/ the mirrors being relatively worthless in this car, due to its big, beautiful a$$.
Thanks, I’m gonna try the same and see how it turns out.
