Default rear view camera

probably been asked before but did Subaru ever produce a rear view camera specifically for a 2011 wrx sti 4 door saloon?
I have searched the internet with no luck, the only one I can find is one from s g petch which appears to be a generic camera with a separate monitor.
the camera I am looking for is car specific for the model above.

There is no specific rear view camera for the MY11 WRXSTI saloon.
The only one offered by Subaru is the camera for the Alpine satnav system that was an official Europe wide accessory


Most UK cars came/are fitted with a Pioneer sat nav to which any generic camera will fit.
My own sits behind the rear grilles in the bumper ....................... with some additional lighting







bought on "the bay" for £7.00


..........connected to a Pioneer AVIC-F950BT sat nav.

I've just bought this not realising it's not for the 05 year.

Toying with either sending it back or making a bracket to mount it in the hole above the number plate

I also think flea bay a good source of cameras , i have put one camera on the trim inside the car top of the boot , so it looks down , i can then see the back of the bumper and what i am reversing towards , on the fsti you have a mid dash glove box so the screen sits in there , this camera i turn on with a switch , second camera ordered works off the reversing light , this i will try camera in same place plus on bumper and see what works best , i did not want to butcher my bumper to put sensors in as i think it ruins the look of the bumper and if a sensor does die you have a load of holes in a bumper doing nothing and a not good looking bumper
