Really need rear view camera advice
Here's the deal: I'm having vision issues, especially with my depth perception and I really need a rear view camera for my '06 Cayenne V6 w/o PCM.
I'm not a fan of messing with my rear view mirror, so I guess I'll have to go with a LCD screen.
Recommendations based on experience will be much appreciated!

Completed this last week
I did this for my wife last week on her 09 S. I bought a rearview cam that replaced one of the license plate lights, a mirror with 4.3" LCD that clipped over the original mirror and an aftermarket reverse sensor kit. I bought all from Amazon, received all components in about a week and spent about $100.
Installation took about 3 hours and was very straight forward. Disassembling/reassembling the rear headliner and pillar trim pieces properly consumed the bulk of the time, of course.
I was concerned the rearview mirror would look cheap and clunky. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the installation turned out. My wife is pretty picky and she didn't even notice until after I pointed it out.
The only thing I was not happy with was the LED light on the side with the camera was clearly a different color than the incandescent light on the other side. I had to order an LED light for the other side that has not yet arrived. It's a small matter that I should have thought of prior to installation.
Let me know if you need any installation pointers.
