I brought a new head unit for my car in a moment of stupidity. I went to fit it then realised that the motorised screen wouldn't go past my gear
lever when in park 
so i now have it for sale on fleabay
(linky)
Part of the reason i bought this is so that when we go to scotland in april, my sister will have a much better chance of being able to park my car if
i fitted a mini camera to the rear bumper.
I now have a new idea of finding a really small (say 2 - 2.5ish inch) screen and mount it in the dash.
I can find a camera easily on the bay but i cant seem to find a small screen.
Does anyone on here know where i might find one?
not sure that squinting to see a 2" lcd will improve reversing any?!
are you pissed?? 180 quid for postage?? 
IMHO, cameras just confuse people....
Get a decent DIY parking sensor kit..
I fitted one on my grans car and it has varying beeps depending on how far away you are from objects, works supprisingly well on lamp posts and trees
etc...
Much more suitable!

just teach her how to park properly!
should be a peice of wee in an auto
if you are a member of costco, they have some wireless reversing camera and screen packages at the moment very small and compact, look a decent bit of kit and about £50 i think

Iv tried. She hit the wall outside our house when she was backing in a straight line and thats after we widened the drive by a few feet
seen some nifty screens that fit in place of your sun visor with screen built in, also you can get rear view mirrors that works as a normal mirror
until a video input is present at which point it turns into a screen behind the mirror. wire the power to a small bullet camera up to the reserve
light (via a relay) and job done. i am sure you can get these on flea bay

Lie.
Maplin? Would have thought they would have one... Or RS components
Halfords do a headunit with a smallscreen buil in (not a flippy uppy jobby) but a fixed 2 or 3 inch screen on the face of the unit.
