Default Backup Camera for Model A with 6V Positive Ground

Actually, this has promise. I found it on Amazon.

YEOIZO WiFi Magnetic Hitch Wireless Backup Camera, Back Up Front/Rear View Reverse Camera Night Vision Rechargeable Battery, Easy for Hitching Horse Gooseneck Boat Travel Trailer RV for iPhone Android https://a.co/d/6bwKHHg

It has strong magnets on the camera base that easily fasten the camera to the bumper or luggage rack. The camera display works on my iPhone over the camera’s own WiFi system, and the camera works even with the Model A motor running. So, EFI doesn’t seem to be an issue.

The only negatives that I see are:

- The onboard camera battery has to be recharged after 5-8 hours of use. I may be able to get around that by routing a charging cable to the camera from my existing USB ports.

- The camera has a manual switch for turning it on and off. So, when I want to use the camera, I’ll need to turn it on before getting into the car and remember to turn off when I get out of the car.

This isn’t ideal, but it’s workable.
