does anyone have pics of this installation on h3x or opinions of putting it there i want to install one but not sure of where it should go D Vader had pics of his done in june 08 but pics dont show up for me. im a little worried about drilling the cover and then finding out i should have put it somewhere else Thanks Mike
mines a 08 h3x/alpha

 

I installed my camera in the spare tires center cover. It basically was about 1 inch wide by 4 inches long. I used a dremel to cut out the shape and then wired/taped the camera in position. I ran the cable through the rear door vents and up through the molding to the back of my radio. It has stayed in place for several weeks and is hardly noticeable. The view from the camera is perfect. I suspect someone could pop off the center tire cover and steal the camera but so far it hasn't happened. I will take some pictures tonight and post them.

what a great hiding place

 

Sorry, I didn't get the chance to post pictures. The H3 is at the dealer getting the radiator replaced. Hopefully, I can post some tonight.

 

i hate the part of cutting into the cover but it seems like the right place im ordering a rear view mirror with the display aftermarket this weekend itll take a while to get here so hopefully ill get a chance to see what yours looks like
thanks for replying i appreciate the info

Mike...the dealer still has the vehicle. What was supposed to be a 3 hour fix is turning into a 3+ day ordeal. I'll take the pictures ASAP but it is going to be Monday night at the earliest.

 

dont worry about time by the time i get everything here and the time to do this itll be a couple weeks i just like to have as much info as possible before i try something like this did they say why your rad taking longer than thuoght?
