2008 Mazda MX-5
Has anyone installed a backup camera in a PRHT. I am thinking about adding a wireless backup camera to my 2008 PRHT. Getting older, and need all the help his old guy can get. Have a backup camera in my Rave 4, and it is a big help..
With the PRHT model your vision is limited out that window. Why wireless over hard wired,? It maybe hard to run that wire forward from the camera through the PRHT mechs. Any input , e mail me! Thanks

I am rapidly reaching 60 and used to think this would be unnecessary, but not so much now I am starting to have issues getting in and out too, I have installed many in other vehicles though, the camera needs to be connected to the reverse light supply, the mounting of the screen is usually the major issue as to mounting it in a ascetically pleasing position being the only issue, the type that replaces the rear view mirror would be my pick.

Thanks for your input. I am looking a a Auto-Vox M1w Wireless. Camera power supply like you said rear light wire.The reason I went wireless is because I did not want to run wires forward through the power top mechanics.
With this camera you can also wire it to be on all the time to see what is behind you in heavy traffic. Again thanks.

Sorry that I cannot answer you on the requested issue, but I'd be very pleased to hearing from you on a diferente one: the wheels you have installed. Are they from BBS? If affirmative, would you pls be so kind to inform me which model/size and the requirement, i.e. if spacers needed, etc? Many thanks in advance. Best regards Francisco
