RE: {Chrysler 300} Trunk Back Up Camera

I can visualize a camera bracket based on a locking, vented, removeable and complex extension to the gasoline filler neck. Perhaps in a “Y” configuration with the new filler leg looking up and a camera bracket welded to the “Y”. Make it from tubing & chrome it.

I saw at the Mopar of Ocala the elder McCandle’s red F and he had installed a lot of new gadgets: door locks, trunk opener, etc. You might inquire about a camera. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had one.

Have you tried those other two locations? I have a license plate one that I have used on a couple vehicles and you can adjust the height of the image. Basically it's just cropping the big image that the camera can see but that's how factory ones are doing it. On a '64, the license plate is probably too low but one in the back window should show plenty, maybe not to keep you from hitting something when you're parking.

Your keyhole adapter does seem like an interesting solution. I assume you don't want to drill holes in the trunk lid. You could make it where it covers the existing key hole and can move out of the way when you need to open the trunk with the key. I would add a remote trunk opener from a '60s-'70s Chrysler product so you would only need the key occasionally. I've used both vacuum and electric versions in various cars over the years. You could make your camera mount magnetic to stick it to the trunk.

I have been thinking about how to place a back up camera on the 300K. Mounted at or near the license plate it is too low. Mounted inside the rear window is too high.

I am wondering if I can machine a block that is threaded and will stick through the stock hole in the trunk for the lockset. Make a longer flat bar that goes from the keyset into the actual lock…and have enough room to run a camera wire set parallel to it and into the machined block. Inside the block I would also machine a place for the camera to sit.

Then send the block out for chrome and stick it in. The part sticking into the trunk through the stock hole…I would make it threaded to use a large thin nut and not use the dammed clip.

Thoughts? I do not want to drill holes anyplace if I can figure out a way not to.
