slugger1 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I've just bought a new double din head unit and intend to link a reversing camera to it (probably in between the number plate lights as it's central). Has anyone else done this? Pics would be nice to see what other people have done. Also suggestions about what camera to go for would be helpful. Cheers.

Big Mark Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 That's exactly where I've put my reverse camera. Ypu can't really notice it on the car unless you know where to look. I went for one like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Rear-View-Camera-Parking-Reverse-Backup-Camera-Waterproof-Night-Vision-UK/223802708884?hash=item341bae5394:g:5IAAAOSwY-Nd-xui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you mount it as it looks like that particular one screws in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Fitted mine in the same place, works a treat.

Big Mark Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Ok cheers for the link. How did you mount it as it looks like that particular one screws in? My bumper was off as car was being resprayed at the time, so just drilled frilled the middle bolt hole in the light and bumper to the size required to fit the camera, pushed it in place and tightened the nut up.

Does the bumper need to be off to fix it or can you get access through the number plate hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraP-Z Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I fitted mine perfectly between the number plate lights, you can see my thread for more info if need be: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?328635-Rear-View-Camera-Fitted-) Been very happy with it and it works wonders. I would say the cameras nowadays are of a bit better quality, I suggest going for something with Infra-Red to help with the night vision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty pleased with it but the camera faces down a bit too much for my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
