Back Up Camera
I know they started the backup camera integration in the 2014 version of the Sonic, but my vehicle is a 2013.
Does anybody know of any possible upgrades in the MyLink to change a back up camera to the screen?
I would hate to have two different screens in my car all the time and I have hard enough time seeing already I would hate the tiny rear-view mirror camera.
Any suggestions?

You have the entertainment system / stereo ?
I would look for a wiring diagram / schematic . Or pull the stereo out and look for another input jack , for a camera .
I installed a EBay Chinese stereo in 2008 Chevy Silverado the work truck I drive . It had several inputs & outputs that the OEM stereo did not use . One was for a camera .
I ordered an inexpensive license plate camera , again from EBay . Ran the cable , tied it in to the stop lite circuit & ran the video cable . It works OK , but the camera is subject to glare , depending on the angle of the sun . May or may not be as much of an issue , if I had purchased a better / more expensive camera ?
But , no experience with factory / OEM camera / stereo .
God bless
