Got the backup camera and monitor installed this weekend. It took way longer than I expected, lots of issues. Went with a 9" monitor that supports two 1080P cameras. The new RX7340 has a spot on the back of the roof for a camera and even a fuse that says rear camera (didn't find any cable ran though). There is a metal plate held on by 4 screws. Behind the plate is a ~1" hole with a rubber grommet installed. Taking out the grommet gives you access to the roof. What wasn't obvious until I spent numerous hours trying to fish a cable is this is a sealed cavity that has no access to any other part of the cab or the side pillars. There is a large probably 3" rubber grommet on the bottom of this cavity that you can get access to lifting the roof up from the back. I cut a X shaped slit and fed my cables out of this cavity, this then got me into the main part of the roof, just above the headliner where I could then route cables down the rear pillar. I repurposed the metal plate and mounted the bracket for the backup camera to it. Reused the original rubber grommet with just a slit in it for my cable to fit through, so should be pretty water/dust tight.

I then worked on the monitor. The new RX7340 has bars along the right door for mounting monitors. I used tube clamps and mounted the monitor to the upper tube. Tube is 27mm for reference. For the cable from the monitor, I just ran it up and over the headliner to the pillar where the camera cable already was. What I wasn't expecting and took a long time was getting power. Just below the pillar is a fuse box, I thought I would just use one of those piggyback fuses for positive and connect ground to an existing screw/bolt. What I eventually found was there was no good ground anywhere in that fuse area I could connect to. So, I punted the piggyback fuse idea, and I wound up just running power from the cigarette lighter on the other side of the tractor and hard wiring through this connection. There is a hole with a grommet pre-installed already below the fuse panel, so just ran cable through it. Cable is behind the seat and on the floor, so totally out of the way.

I also found the one time use retainer clips holding the plastic pillar cover and headliner a total pain. There was no way to remove these without destroying them. I wound up drilling them out and have ordered some similar ones, hopefully the color matches or is close. Below are some pictures of the setup.

Nice install. Been going to do that on My 7320 but gotta decide if I'm gonna replace it with a 7340 first 😂

What did you use for a camera system? I also want to add a camera to the loader for better visibility when trying to hook on to my attachments.

Went with this one from Amazon.
Amazon Camera
It does have two cameras, I only hooked up one of them for now. Might wire up the second one to focus on the loader area.

Have you used your system while in motion? Reason I am asking is I bought a Chinese wonder similar to this one from Amazon (XRoose) but the update frequency of the display is poor while in motion (nice and clear in a steady state condition. Takes a second or 2 to update before you see the actual motion. Doesn't work like the one in my car. I can't find any specs in the Amazon listing on either yours or the one I bought and nothing was in the installation manual.

Yeah I have no issues with it in motion and in the tractor. I felt confident about this one as well because it is the same one agricameras.com sells on their site just for 3x as much. The only issue is when I had it on the bench testing it. I had lines scrolling on the screen, like a frequency issue. Eventually figured out it was the LED lights in my shop causing the issue.
