i have an eclipse AVX5000. i was reading some other related forums and someone mentioned that eclipse head units only work with elcipse back up cameras. is that true?

what will i need to buy besides the back up camera? how many rcas? and anything else? if i dont have to go with an eclipse back up camera can you guys recommend some good ones? i dont want to pay too much but i dont want crap either. i think about $200 is my max. thanks

I did some research and found that the unit can use any rca backup camera, but only if the camera goes through the video input. Because of that, the image does not flip and may be awkward to backup with.

If you want the image to flip so it is more natural for backing up, you do have to use the BEC104 camera.

So the answer is yes and no... Yes, you have to use the camera from eclipse

No, you can use regular backup cameras but it will not be flipped and you will not be able to hook up another video source such as PS2
