ND-BC20PA Install Location

Have people had good experiences with the ND-BC20PA Parking Assist Camera? I saw a few posts about people that were about to install one - but no follow ups...

 

I am wondering if it will work well on my car - 2007 VW Eos.

 

I reviewed the installation manual (from Pioneers site). It says "do not mount the camera below the license plate" - and shows a diagram with the license plate on the trunk lid.

 

Well as you can see from the attached picture - my license plate (as well as a lot of other cars) is in the rear bumper - much lower than the trunk lid.

 

The installation instructions do not quantitatively define at what minimum height to mount the camera (super lame).

 

How high does the camera need to be mounted in order for both "views" (overhead and direct) to work? Has anyone tried to mount the camera on the rear bumper?

 

Can anyone suggest where to mount the camera on my car?

 

Thanks for all your help

Nobody has installed a back up camera? :(

 

Anyone know how low you are able to mount it?
