Anyone ever installed a backup camera in a 996? Just curious if it's possible and if so what components were used and how long/successful installation was.

You can buy the whole system on eBay pretty cheap (<$100 shipped from China) including camera, LCD display monitor and wireless transmitter/receiver (which make installation simple and not having to run the video cable)

never realized they were so cheap, just ordered one for 25 bucks without the monitor but it plugs into my stereo

Is it really needed in a sports car?

It's not needed but once you have one on another car it's hard to go back

I bought this for my Cayenne....actually works really well...no wires, simple install, and give a great view behind...it is expensive, but there really aren't any other options that aren't, and it works well....

When I got my C4S it had a Pioneer AVIC double DIN head unit installed, with a back-up camera capability. Got this backup camera on Amazon for about $20: "Esky EC170-06 HD Color CCD Waterproof Car Rear View Backup Camera". The connections were straight forward, but the installation was a pain routing the wires. Handy when reversing in a parking lot to avoid hitting anything.

So grateful/glad you posted....good to hear from an actual satisfied customer. Thanks.

I have one on my C4S. Not needed, but nice to have for sure. I actually didn't realize it was on there until after I bought the car. It's mounted just above the license plate and not visible unless you crouch down or look from a distance. It's wired to the kenwood LCD radio and tied into the reverse lights in the fuse box so it comes on when backing up.

Why would you need a camera? Or rearview mirror, for that matter....
