Back up camera non-NAV
I was wondering about getting an aftermarket GPS and also a backup camera.
I found a lot of posts on back up cameras, but haven't (yet) found one for non-NAV cars. Couple of questions.

Re: Back up camera non-NAV
1. Yes there are wireless cameras
2. Hmm... not that I know off 3. Aftermarket cameras that are sold at Canadian Tire are about $250++ 4. They're separate to GPS (so you'll have one screen for the camera and your portable GPS screen sharing dashboard real estate) |

You're looking for a GPS/Back-up combo. I doubt that you'll find one since they're two completely different functions. Much as finding a dishwasher/refrigerator combo. Yes, you MIGHT be able to find one, but it would be MUCH MORE expensive than purchasing two separate top-of-the-line individual units. |

4. Yeah, no. There's no GPS/camera combo. You buy a separate GPS unit (whichever you want) and you buy a separate camera unit (which comes with its own screen of course)
Oh, well! |

How about this: http://www.twice.com/article/CA6530963.html?nid=3189
Here's the relevant excerpt: "Also new from Roadmaster is a GPS/backup camera combination. As a portable navigation device (PND), the unit has a 3.5-inch screen with built-in maps of the full United States and Canada and 11 million points of interest. When the driver puts the car in reverse, the PND automatically goes into backup camera mode. It comes with a camera that mounts on the license plate and will ship in July at a suggested $399. Both the Auto-Cam and GPS/backup camera are part of Roadmaster's VR3 line, which is sold to stores including Wal-Mart, Target and Pep Boys. " |

Wow!
You stuck the landing on that one! I'll give you a 10 for that answer. |
Re: Back up camera non-NAV
The VR3 backup cameras are (were?) available from Canadian Tire, Costco, and others in Canada for less than $100. They are okay, but the reception of the camera's radio signal (2.4 MHz band) is somewhat variable.

The Garmin Streetpilot 7200 and the Garmin Streetpilot 7500 both support a backup camera. For both of them you will need a video input cable, which has a yellow composite video RCA connector on one end, and has a a plug on the GPS end that looks like an earphone connector. For the 7200, you will also need a "dead reckoning" cable (the 7500 includes this last cable.)
