Alternate location for reverse camera (HowTo)

I mounted up a Rydeen Duo on my Subaru BRZ using this post:

BRZ Limited Backup Camera Step by Step (WARNING long post, many pictures)

I found that I didn't like the OEM location much. When parking, the driver side parking lines, or curb, or other cars... strongly favored the passenger side visually. At times, it took a bit of mental arithmetic that I couldn't afford in my rush to avoid inconveniencing others. As a result, I removed it and installed it differently: in the center.

Great write-up, I'm really interested in adding a backup cam as well.

3M tape is enough to keep it mounted even with the Florida heat? Which model is that?
