Reversing camera mounting advise - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have a Yaris 2002 (02) plate. i have just bought a video stereo, with a reversing camera.

Any idea how i could mount the camera, without removing anything else.

this is how the back of my car looks like (note. this isnt my car):

and the camera, basically like this:

A usual place is under that overhang where the licence plate is. I had a similar setup on my car, but I never liked it as it is hard to judge distances. I think the ideal position would be at the top of the hatch glass, looking down at a 45 degree angle. Of course, this would be best if you had a spoiler to hide the camera a little bit!
