After some ebay searches I found a rear view mirror with built in LCD screen and then I bought 2 different cameras...both with IR so they can see at night. One camera was too big for the cover...I could get it to fit but the jam nut was to big so there was no way to secure it properly. The second one seen here is 2.2cm across (and 2cm deep) with a locking spring clip so it fits perfectly in the plastic cover. Now all I need to do is modify the factory mirror mounting plate, drill a hold in the rear hatch metal and pass the wires through to the LCD mirror. The LCD mirror and camera kits both come with lots of cables (25 feet total) so there is no wire splicing needed. Power for the system comes from the reverse lights. Might have to rig up the other camera and use that as a hidden dash cam. That's a mod for another day!
This cover has been messed with in my attempt to fit too big of a camera....not sure if can be saved but I do have a spare cover. Here's what we're starting with folks.
