Hi!

So my Crossfire came with a backup camera setup done by the previous owner. Backup camera works great, not too good at nighttime (might be because the LEDs around the camera are all cloudy).
The problem is the license plate bracket that holds the camera in place has cracked and fell off the other day. I screwed it back in but it's just a matter of time till that bracket breaks for good.

What is the best way to fix this?

Do they sell the bracket separately?
Also, does the camera lense detach from the assembly?

My thing is, I don't want to have to wire up a new camera setup. The previous owner did a decent job. It looks like there is a black and red wire. The red wire trails long side the side of the roadster and comes out behind the seats through the carpet. So that is all pretty well done as far as I'm concerned.

Of I bought a new license plate bracket plus camera, what's the easiest way of installing it? Should I just cut the black wire and splice the new camera to it instead of rewiring everything?

See these pictures:







And here is the red wire. I would rather not have to re-wire all of that.

 

You might try seeing if the manufacturer sells them?

 

Buy new and splice. I would reroute the wires or hide them somehow, but that is just me.

 

Was considering the buy new and splice solution. The wires to be honest aren't really visible if you didn't know they were there. The only wire one sees is the black one that leads from the actual camera under the weather stripping.
MY thing is, how did previous owner route this wire? If I splice it new, I'm assuming I have to losen the bumper to get where that black wire runs down the weather stripping?
Any idea how to do that?

 

Thing is I don't know the manufacturer.

I wonder if anyone has this kind of license plate bracket w/backup camera if the actual camera can be removed and plugged/screwed into a new bracket given that the new mounting bracket has the same size.
