I too would love a Rear view camera. But I would like one that would tie
into my Garmin GPS . It is always on and nicely mounted out of the way . I
do not want an additional screen on my dash or some other device. If there
was an interface that would be ideal ,as usually I do not need a GPS when
going backwards so it would not interfere with anything .
Honestly A front camera would be of no use ,I can see in front of the
van when driving .
