Default Back Up Camera

Anyone with factory back up camera, where is it located? Can you see the trailer hitch ball if you tow? Any pictures would be appreciated. I any trying to add a aftermarket to my Pioneer radio and would like to make it as factory looking as possible.

that is a really good idea, I wonder if the factory camera does show the hitch...seems like it would... seems like it was built into the license plate assembly...

The factory camera is located directly under the bowtie in the license plate area. If you know it's there, you can see it. It's about 1" square. I have a 9" drop hitch and I can see the ball. Makes hooking up easy.

Wished there was an easy way (besides Lockpick) to turn the camera on in "Drive" to check on the trailer.
