Adding a backup camera to my Journey — is it worth the hassle?


Recommended Posts

I drive a 2013 Dodge Journey SXT and it still has the factory radio without a screen. I've been thinking about adding a backup camera because the rear visibility in parking lots around here bugs me, and I'd rather not keep twisting around every time I back out. What I'm unsure about is whether to go with a replacement head unit that has a screen built in, or one of those mirror-style displays that clip over the existing rearview mirror. I don't want to tear into the dash and end up with wiring rattles, and I'm also worried about how the camera holds up through Arkansas summers and the occasional heavy rain. I found some general health and safety info online about reducing backing accidents, but nothing Journey-specific. For those who've done this, which route gave you fewer headaches — head unit or mirror display? Any mounting spots that worked well on the rear hatch?
