Back-camera

I just purchased a Magellan Roadmate /backup camera combination for my MCoupe. Debating front installation to protect my nose or rear installation to protect my butt. This wireless (video transmission) camera overrides whatever is on the GPS screen when it is powered. Maybe a second camera with some kind of three-way switch (front, rear, off) will be the answer. Will definitley make parking easier. Tired of scraping fangs.
Think this may be overdoing it?

Neither? LOL

IMO you're more at risk damaging the front given the long hood, not the rear as the hatch is pretty short. But with that said, who mounts a camera on the front? haha... seems useless on both ends. Just get some touch-up work done and then slap on a clear bra?
