Im with TM on this one.
I been reading this thread for a couple days and wondering why would you need the rear view cam on always? Whats wrong with the mirrors?

Im worried that the camera would over heat (especially if its 12v cam) and cause issues which would out weigh having it on always seeing whats going on behind ya. Theres also the danger of your eyes constantly looking at the HU instead of the road.

A front cam I can understand getting that put on but once again only as needed, say for parking all other times I dont see the point of it being on.

Sorry for throwing my 2 cents in but I think your chewing ur time up on a pointless exercise.
