Adding rear view camera
Is it possible to add on an aftermarket review camera and have it tie into the the electronics package LCD screen? Would it also turn on automatically when the car is in reverse?

There is also this:
http://www.coastaletech.com/synclockpick.htm
This enables you to do many things with your SYNC system that the factory does not allow. In addition, you can add a second camera to mount wherever you wish (I think).

If the former, you can get a license plate bracket camera that works fine for location. The lockpick will interface with any camera; you just patch it to the camera's video out. There are billions of them out there.
If the latter, use your imagination! I plan on getting a camera and mounting it to perhaps the front license plate camera so I can park against poles without worrying about hitting them... and for a sweet view ahead while driving! Or maybe a wireless cam on the roof for 3rd person driving? Or, maybe I would mount it behind one of the wheel wells to get a shot of the front wheel moving around while driving. Or, facing the rear wheel so you can make sure you're roasting the tires, not the clutch. The possibilities are endless!
Or, you can be boring and put it facing the back seat so you can keep an eye on munchkins (should any be occupying the tiny back seat).

Are you referring to the rear view camera, or a second camera?

I just really wish someone could provide some options on rear spoilers with camera mounts, too...

Since I sense a bit of humor in this thread...
The rear view would be great for a couple other reasons. Say you're in a busy parking lot, and the girl behind you is gorgeous unloading groceries, and you simply put your car in reverse and enjoy the view without looking backwards- NICE!
