Suggestion
You can buy the whole system on eBay pretty cheap (<$100 shipped from China) including camera, LCD display monitor and wireless transmitter/receiver (which make installation simple and not having to run the video cable)

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Anyone ever installed a backup camera in a 996? Just curious if it's possible and if so what components were used and how long/successful installation was.

is a sports car really needed? lol
agreed that its not that important but for 25 bucks i will throw it in because i am already in the process of tge stereo anyway
I bought this for my Cayenne....actually works really well...no wires, simple install, and give a great view behind...it is expensive, but there really aren't any other options that aren't, and it works well....
When I got my C4S it had a Pioneer AVIC double DIN head unit installed, with a back-up camera capability. Got this backup camera on Amazon for about $20: "Esky EC170-06 HD Color CCD Waterproof Car Rear View Backup Camera". The connections were straight forward, but the installation was a pain routing the wires. Handy when reversing in a parking lot to avoid hitting anything.
I have one on my C4S. Not needed, but nice to have for sure. I actually didn't realize it was on there until after I bought the car. It's mounted just above the license plate and not visible unless you crouch down or look from a distance. It's wired to the kenwood LCD radio and tied into the reverse lights in the fuse box so it comes on when backing up.
