Sorry my friend, I do not. However, I am very interested in this subject considering my wife is riding me weekly (not in a good way ) about getting a back up camera installed.
Not to high jack your thread, but I'm curious about what options are out there for an aftermarket camera (and install difficulty)?
Any recomendations?

The easiest camera to install is one that puts the screen in the rearview mirror. You just replace your factory mirror and run the wires. The Edge CTS monitor has a provision for a camera input as well. There are some cheap wireless camera setups out there for sub $100, but I haven't read many success stories. Running the wires is the most tedious part.

I did an aftermarket nav in the dash with a wired camera, works great 4 years later. I would like to add a second camera for forward view when parking, but a simple set of parking sensors would be easier.

A member here installed a backup camera in his 08 Truck after installing a mygig system with nav he bought similar to the one in his Cherokee. His camera is a really good quality one that is mounted in a license plate frame and is not bigger than the end of a pen.(not the big ugly ones at the local stores) Works really well. As far as I know all the parts he bought were online.
