Default GMT800 backup camera solution

Just finished installing an OEM take off rear view mirror w/ 3.5" LCD embedded.

It's a take off from a newer GMT900 I believe, found it on ebay. Lost my onstar, but honestly who uses that crap anyway.

The guy included the harness for the video input all I had to do was pop up the secondary retension clip, pop in my wires on pin 1 & 2.

Camera is a cheapie from Amazon, overall I'm impressed with how quickly it installed. The camera is powered by the reverse lights, the OEM harness is already configured with the reverse switch on the mirror so it didn't have to monkey with that.

Damn that's legit, my buddy has an 12 sierra z71 with it-always wondered how easy the swap would be.

Awesome job! Adding it to my to do list
