Which back-up camera fits perfectly in the trunk keyhole?

I'm installing a rear view camera and I'm sure a few on this forum have done it as well. I plan on removing the trunk key hole/socket completely...

Would like to get it running with as little modification as possible... so what are my options?

I'm somewhat interested in this as well, back-up cameras are pretty cheap now, and it's the only RCA not hooked up on my AVIC lol.

My opinion based on personal experience:

Don't do it.

Get a license plate bracket camera instead.
1. You don't have to bore out the keyhole and cause permanent damage
2. You're not preventing yourself from being able to access the trunk in case your electronic trunk release stops working.
3. Keyhole cameras are pointed straight back. You need it to be angled downwards for accurate back up capability.

oh, also, this thread should have been in the audio/electronics subforum.
