Backup Camera

Im looking for a backup camera to pair with my pioneer 4000nex. Any recommendations? What brand did you chose, how is it?

Im leaning towards Rydeen DUO mini. Anyone with this that can shine a light?

I currently have that model hooked up to my stock HU. The quality of the camera is very good and the construction is solid and doesn't feel cheap. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice backup cam. It looks as if the price has gone down since I bought it too, so it's also a good deal for what you're getting.

I'm thinking of upgrading my stock unit to the pioneer 4000 nex. How do you like the unit so far?

I've got the Rydeen Duo and it is great value. You can see my opinions here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=229

I'm also interested in the NEX line, once the Carplay update comes out. Can you tell me, if I get the 4000nex, would I still be able to have navigation on the head unit via Carplay using my phone's GPS?

I picked up this one a few months ago and its been great. Clear picture, guide lines, metal body and very solid. Plus for the price I could order two and always have one as backup. The install is pretty easy after you initially run the wires to the HU. The only down side is that it honestly takes two months to get it..but shipping is free so can't complain to much.

Edits:
Heres another, similar construction, since the one I ordered is sold out. http://www.dx.com/p/eagleyes-ec-th10...5#.U8aWiMtZQm8

I've had the Duo for slightly less than a year and it's been great.
