I bought a NEW BOYO VTL375 ULTRA SLIM ZINC METAL LICENSE PLATE CAMERA (BLACK) (12 VOLT-VIDEO) for $130 from Amazon. I installed it on my Tundra pickup truck. Very clean looking frame and the camera is only noticeable if you look for it. It provides a very good image on my Kenwood DNX5120.

Hi Chuck,

Would you be able to post a pic of what it looks like on your kenwood when in reverse? Did you have to wire it a special way to get it to show automatically when you put the car in reverse or was it pretty straight forward when you're wiring? TIA

I am out of town right now. It'll be a week until I can post it. I installed it on my Tundra truck. I installed the same Kenwood unit in both the Tundra and Boxster. It was very easy to hook up the wiring. Another poster on the Tundra board had identified the wire that needed to be tapped into. I am sure a search would do the same for the Boxster.
