Garmin 650 as a backup camera
I do not think it is possible.

That device does not have any means for video input.
really?
If you know how, let us know.
Nice test
Gonna make for some mighty small print... Were you planning to do text editing on that screen, or just Photoshoppe ?

I think you can use the 660 like that.
Probably ended up costing
Probably ended up costing more than a dedicated monitor to implement. Nice thought.

There are a few Garmin models that will work with a backup camera. Mostly the ones with super large screens designed for RVs and trucks.
The SP 7200/7500 (I think) and the nuvi 5000.

Garmin used to sell a "vehicle integration box" which allowed you to hook up a backup camera to certain nuvi models. Unfortunately the VIB has been discontinued.

Not sure on 6xx...
Don't know of an easy way to do this on a 6xx class device (but would be happy to be shown the error of my ways).
The VIB 10/11 (vehicle integration box) support the C550, 7xx, and 8xx devices.
From the info available, it looks like only the 8xx devices supported back up cameras using the VIB. (Google gets through the Garmin website better than Garmin's own search functions!)
