    I'm tempted to hack into the cmos camera and upgrade to a ccd unit.
    I haven't founf a ccd unit that has a feature like this, for cheap that is.

    My project would be to buy:

    Transmitter: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=161336348015 (I don't care much for the cmos camera that comes with it)

    Camera: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=111498223250

    I may be lacking the search function in me, but I haven't seen anyone setup a wireless/wifi backup camera that would feed into their phone here... I don't want another screen other than my phone in my car.

    Is it possible to hack the wires so that I can use the ccd camera instead of the cmos?


    In short: I want to upgrade the cmos camera to a ccd.


    Sorry for the lack of electronic knowledge lol

    I'm unsure, but I think that from MY 2009, the signal from the Back-up camera is digital. Probably not doable..........:censored:
