To avoid postage and customs costs, I've found this screen here. ($60) Despite what the description says, I think the resolution is more likely to be 800x240. I would be mounting this in the sun visor so would avoid the reflection on the windscreen problem.

As for the camera, I've got my eyes on this one. ($40) Would this be good enough for my needs?

Or should I spend a little more and get a CCD camera? ($90) I think CCD cameras work better when there's bright lights in the darkness?

Thanks for advice in advance!
