Hi all,
Thought I would post this. Might be helpful to some folks. My version of reverse camera (auto car) install without dismantling half the car (Sync2), and drilling holes in the number plate carrier.
I used a wireless sender, as I didn't want to faff with routing a video cable back to front, and also not to take off the number plate carrier.
Still needs dash and rear hatch cover dis-assemble though.
The camera and rear camera sender are fed off the drivers reverse light. the sender and wires tuck into the void of the number plate carrier. The camera does work but for a short period. I think it needs a filter, as the Canbus reverse light voltages may be unstable. As I have the detail, I may for the fun of it try to build the filter rather than purchase one.
Front video receiver piggybacks off of fuse 85 (switched live).
Front and back senders are stuck in place with sticky pads.
Camera just above the N, reverse screen in action.
Excuse the rubbish in the garage, it tends be a bit of a dumping ground for easy to reach stuff
?
Camera how to without dismantling the whole car.
