Trunk Lock Backup Camera
Has it been done? People use solenoids to control the lock so why not utilize the hole for a camera? Just a thought. Dyno |

I find backup cameras to be incredibly helpful.
Granted, a 914 is small enough that backing up isn't much of an issue. But its still helpful, especially in dynamic environments like car shows where you have people and kids going all over and not watching cars moving around them. I'm putting one in the bay window bus i'm making, and will put them on my rabbit pickup and vanagon as well. The carplay units on Amazon are so cheap, and they all come with the cameras and wiring. Its just a no brainer to me. I was one of those guys that HATED back up cams when they came out, but now I want them on everything. The cameras are tiny and just bolt to your license plate. Zach |
