I have a cool old school 1981 Chaparral Toter home. I want to add a good back up camera to make it easier to hook up trailer and then second camera to see behind trailer. From what I have read none of the wireless cameras work very good with long trailers like mine. So my need a rear camera hard wired.
1. Who makes a good back up camera?

2. Does it have a good quick connect to make it easy to hook up and get good picture?

My Radio is a Pioneer in dash head unit. I guess it is a good one but no way you can use it while driving. Virtually useless. It has Bluetooth, Sirius XM, Bass, Treble, all kinds of set up features packed into little bitty old school size. All of the controls are real close together and small. So I would like one that is larger and easy to use.

So what are my options to get one I can actually use while driving?

I would like to be able to keep my Sirius XM and Bluetooth phone?

The radio has a USB port so maybe some sort of remote conrtol pad?

Radio is similar to this.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

They have this which would do most all I need but I think it is cheap Chinese junk.

I run a ATOTO head unit in the 03 dodge. I have dual backup cameras, I run the video output on the one on the trailer, to the front of the trailer then to a 5.8 gig wireless unit to the back of the unit. Having an android head unit with a nice radio and Google maps with traffic updates is a godsend. (ask me about making a wrong turn going to thunder valley and having to back up for a 1/4 mile at 2 in the morning) I also have my personal CD collection loaded (900 songs) loaded. The steering wheel control is a few bucks more. Oh, I forgot about the hands-free calling also.
