Thought I'd throw this out, been working great for 2 years.

Here's a cheap and easy backup camera option for E-Bodies.
My Challenger has the stupid SE rear window, that along with a small floppy passenger side mirror makes for a terrible blind spot.
I got this on Amazon for only $35, and it works great. I wired it to be constantly on.
Added a Velco strip so it can be easily removed, and ran the hard wire through the interior to plate.
I can now see cars beside me, in blind spot.

Pros:
- It's cheap, only $35
- Hard wired, looked at WiFi options, but all reviews complained about phone issues
- Helps with blind spot, along with the usual backing up
- Easily disconnected for removal
- Nice 4.3" size screen, fits perfect in ashtray
- Did I meation it's cheap..........

Cons:
- Have to leave ashtray open, although it comes with suction cup for windshield
- 140 deg view angle, 180 deg might be better for blind spot issue
- Had to mount camera on front side of plate because of the factory license plate light interference
- Drillled holes in ashtray mount and trunk for wiring. My car is far from original, so this didn't bother me

Interesting idea...

Would have to think about how to modify this setup for Plymouth E-body use since the gas cap for Cudas is accessed behind the rear license plate.
