Hello everyone,

We just bought a 2012 Mazda3 GT which has a gt-e package (navigation, bsm, push button start). My wife will be mainly driving it. While she is liking the car for the most part. Our condo has a tight parking spot and notice she has issues backing in and out. I inquired with Cobra/Audioheaven regarding an OEM interface where the navi screen (crappy small one) can be used as a camera. Audioheaven said, they don't have one such solution however cobra said that one of their staff got it done so they have a way around. They quoted me 450 for backup camera install (utilizes mazda camera and some canbus wiring but wouldn't provide any more details), 250 for tints and 400 for forward and reverse dash cam. They maybe able to give me a deal for under 1000 for everything installed.

My main question is has anyone done the backup camera integration on the OEM display (tiny screen). I came across a company from austrailia but it appears they are no longer is business. Thanks again for all your help
