I'm finding the downside of the new Curtis/Kubota MKII cabs is the difficulty in mounting outside mirrors. My wife has a Prius that has a backup camera and while driving it the other day, I thought that one of those might solve my RTV rear view problem.
Looking at aftermarket cameras showed most of them have a limited angle of vision but I finally found this Pyle PLCM7700 that claimed 170 deg vision angle and was about $70 w/free shipping from Amazon.
Judy approved the purchase as an early Xmas present so on to the results.
I decided to hook it up with a switch on the dash instead of a switch activated by the reverse gear so it would be available in other gears.
I finished the install after dark and turned it on to see if it would power up. It not only powered up but it has a decent picture at night outside. The picture below is a daytime shot, however.
A couple of pictures should give the info necessary on the install.

The install is not real pretty yet but if it works out, I'll clean it up and make it pretty. Bob
