Recommended Backup Camera System For 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 5.8 ft Short Bed
Question:
Do I need a 5ft cable extension if I put the monitor in the center of the dash in the little cubby hole next to the glove box? Is there a larger monitor maybe 7inch to 10inch available with the same features as the OEM? Direct plug in? I put another brand on my Ford super crew XLT and was very disappointed at picture quality .but it was a Christmas gift from wife , she was very excited thinking she did good , the sad part was she paid a good amount for it . Read great reviews about this product thought I would give it a try on the new truck

The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002 is a nice system. Depending on how you run the wire, you may need an extention. We have a 5 foot extension # HM3100504060 and a 25 foot extension # HM3100504061. There isn't an in-between size.
If you want a larger monitor, I recommend the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System with Flush Mount Camera # RVS-7707721.
If you want an alternative monitor option, I recommend the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System - Mirror Monitor - License Plate Mounted Camera # RVS-778718N.
