Just purchased a backup camera for my 03 H2. My 2 has a rear mounted tire. I would like to get some recommendations from others on here who have installed a rear camera as to the best mounting location to achieve the best view possible. Thanks in advance for all input.

 

I have not installed one yet but if you wheel your H1 i'd suggest mounting it ontop of your rear mounted tire to keep it out of the mud!

 

Mine plugs into the hitch mount. Has an excellent view.

Hey Dizzy..I had mines mounted high up so I can keep on eye on my dirtbike trailer. Cam goes into automode when shifting to reverse, or I can toggle a switch to view anytime.

 

Awesome setup Bassgear! I wish I had the nav screen to use.

 

I wish I had EITHER one!

 

Nice set up BassGear.

 

I found a back up camera interface that they say will work with most H2's and all h3's...the problem is that I have been calling them and I never get an answer or a return call...mmmm....
The company is: www.avelectronics.com has anyone heard of them or used them? The interface will also allow you to use your Ipod and display it on the NAV screen as well as hook up SIRRIUS radio and control it from your NAV screen. You can also hook up multi cameras, DVD, monitors...and so on. Sounds bad AZZ but I can't get a hold of them.

no way! the funnest part about mudding is getting it all over stuff, backup camera included. Its FUN to turn on the cam and see muck everywhere.

I have a backup cam on an '06 installed as shown in the attached pic. 100% happy with that. Its out of direct mud-path and doesn't clog up from driving around puddly city streets, the view is good in all directions and with 37" tires you can see the tire in the top corner of the screen when backing up, which is fun and makes passengers chuckle. I can snap a photo of the view when backing up if it'd help.
