Hey, I have a Magellan 7" RoadMate 9055 with a Magellan Wireless License mount Back-Up Camera. I'm just not sure if the license area is the best place for the camera, it seems to me that the spare tire will block half of the view. I heard some people mounting it to the rear center bumper. Any suggestions ? Also, where is a good place to mount the GPS unit in the FJ?

Thanks

The spare tire does not block much at all.

My camera is mounted in the center of the bumper. I would think the license mount would be okay and the spare wouldn't interfere too much since most cameras are wide angle. It just won't be centered.

Why not on the top of the door- better vision that way. Otherwise the bumper would be the cleanest.

i mounted mine to the center of the spare, same place as the factory camera. I was going to mount mine to the top of the door like old cruiser suggested but there is not much room in there. I’m sure it could be done I just didn’t have the patience and wasn’t clever enough. if someone figures out how to put it there please post how you did it.

I mounted my camera in the center of the bumper, just above the hitch. Makes it easy to hook up a trailer. I too have a 7" Magellan GPS. I used a Panavise mount to mount it near the radio. I had to build a custom bracket to mate the two.

I hacked away the license plate bracket so the camera is just by itself and mounted it in the silver center piece ( i have the SE Toyota hitch (reese)) so it looks built in. The camera gives a full view of the trailer when you back up and the goof balls that feel the need to pull right up to you at stoplights.The one i had just fit between the fascia and the real bumper components.
