Quick question for the pros. I have a medium duty tow truck that came with an alpine TV/nav unit in the dash as well as a backup camera. My question is this: on all vehicles that are towed, there is a wireless light bar that is attached to the rear of said vehicle. It operates at 12v with I/O via 2.4ghz. I would like to integrate a wireless backup camera to it, but it seems like 2.4ghz is the only transmission method. Do you think these two devices operating on the same frequency and in such close proximity will interfere? Will they even work? Any thoughts are much appreciated.

IMO you should be fine. 2.4GHz devices use digitally encoded transmission (AFAIK). They are exceptionally selective, and cross-transmission issues (signal bleed etc) are very rare.
Powerful transmitters might interfere - viz a nearby GSM phone that's in use or exchanging base commands (though even that is usually injection into analog circuits - eg, speaker systems.
