On a brighter note @humfrz, I suppose she'll be on your level of backyard engineering in a few years time? Just please only give her the PG "back in the day" stories.
....... yep, PG only.

You haven't yet? This is truly a great addition to the car given the rear visibility...

I've been thinking about adding a backup camera to the car. Lots of children in my neighborhood and many occasions where they run away from their parents and like to come toward me when leaving for work...

And the camera too...

But in all seriousness, a good camera costs about $60, the pre-made harness about $25, and you can get the stock touchscreen head unit (if you don't already have it) for about $100 from the large supply of #totaled cars... I got a head unit with touch screen, bespoke audio and navigation from a totaled car for $200.

A cheap, fun, and highly practical addition to the car. I highly recommend.

No, just been lazy about doing it. Got the screen since I swapped out the original radio in the '13 for the unit from a '14 with GPS. Higher on the priority list now.

Quite easy actually. With a loud enough exhaust nobody can even hear the screams.
