Over the top of the license plate. Since it's a wireless i sucked power from the license plate light. With a flick of the lights, my camera comes on instead of having to have the car in reverse.

Mine is over the license plate, but slanted to the right a little. This comes in handy at Wal Mart when i'm backing out of a parking space, i can see vehicles coming.

Mine is directly over the lic. plate also. That was the easy part, the hard part was figuring out where to put the monitor

On my 2008 Alpha the factory placed it next to the license plate just to the top right.

Looks Good how did you wire it in the car?
Picked up the hot lead from the right reverse-wire in the taillight assembly so that the camera is powered when I put it in reverse. The coax cable runs from under the passenger-side footwell carpet to the cargo area then out through one of the holes beneath the cargo door sill (just pull it up and you will see what I mean).
The PAC adapter switches the nav unit to rear-view no matter if the Nav unit is on or off or what might be playing on the unit otherwise. I am thinking of using the other feed for the adapter and Y-ing it to the coax and then running a separate hot lead so that when I flip the switch on the adapter, I can see behind me whatever the position of the gear selector. Just trying to find out the MTBF for the camera I have if it is always powered up.

I have my camera bolted to my license plate too. I've got it wired into my towing package harness so the camera is only on when the truck is in reverse. The LCD display is mounted on my driver side visor. I ran the power cord over to the left front pillar, there's a rubber seal that is easy to slide the wire under and down to the dash area, from there the wire goes down under my floor mats and plugged into to one of the power adapters on the console. It looks good and was easy to install. I did have to buy a male/female 3' extension cable for the LCD power cable.
When I want to use the camera, I fold down the visor and hit the power button and if it's already in reverse I get an instant picture. If it's in park or drive it displays noise until you hit reverse. II got my camera kit at Target, it was $98.00, it has 4 buttons on it, some of the cameras only have two buttons. They had the same part number and same price. The four button one gives you control over contrast and brightness as well as image mirroring/rotating and power like the two button has.
I get really good video from the wireless camera, color is decent, picture detail is good. It's a wide angle lens so even though it's on the left side of the truck it's got plenty of look angle. I did shim the outside to angle it slightly towards the middle of the vehicle.
