Fitted my reversing camera today and i must say a big THANK YOU to Tissy from the ESC for the camera & bracket which fitted perfectly
The bracket wasn't to hard to fit once you get your hand behind the bumper you've got quite a bit of room to fit it

Camera & bracket fitted together before fitting


What a lovely fit


And again


In Action, ignore the cutout in the surround as i'm waiting for a new one

 

Where do you take the cable into the car/boot?

 

Theres a big grommet on the bottom of the spare wheel well

 

I found a nice large blanking grommet also on the rear off-side, just below the rear light clusters. You have to remove the carpet trim a little to see it though.

Andy, i also sent you an email.

 

looks good - i like the carbon surround too.

 

It's a Subaru part

 

I have a bleedin towbar in the way making it a pig to fit

Hoping Xtreme can sort when they have it for its 60k service

 

fit it to one side phil. i toyed with the idea of removing the lock barrell from the boot lid for mine - boot lid could still be released from inside

 

yeah i've seen them listed in a few mags etc, plus seen on ebay a couple of times - just haven;t seen one fitted and they look pretty good, so i may have to start searching fleabay!

 

I could still have a go Phil, but it may take more than a standard philips screw driver which i originally had with me not anticipating a bloody great bar of metal !!

I'm happy to meet if that helps and we'll have another go with the right tools this time.

Let me know mate.

 

 

Tissy - did you get my email this evening?

Andy.

 

Yes i did mate, sorry, just sent you a reply.

 

Hi,

I noticed you have a kenwood DNX 7200. I am thinking of getting one of these and was wondering what do you think of it and if it is easy to install? Do you have any installation instructions???

cheers

 

It's a very nice piece of kit, just about does everything you should need , i did modify the mounting brackets a little so it was flush with the dash surround, theres a few more pics of the headunit in the link below

Well mine is booked into Pulse on Friday

I have had to give up with the bracket Steve made (i'll return it Steve) the Tow Bar made it impossible to get to

So thanks to the guys at work they sculptured a nice piece of softwood to the contours of the inside of the bumber and then sealed in white and then stuck in place with gripfill
24 hours latter a perfect place to screw the camera to

Roll on Friday

 

Well..........any update Phil ??

 

Yep its on

Not sure about the angle but I can play with that

 

Did they put the angle spacers on, if not i have a couple of spares where you can alter the elevation angle of the camera.

Take it it is fitted to the reverse gear ? Any pics ?

 

Are you able to 'flip' the image, so that its similar to what you see in your rear-view mirror? The reason that I ask, is that my new lorry has a conventional image and Im struggling to use it as much as the old one, which could be inverted.

 

am sure mine is "flipped" (unless it's my mind playing tricks on me???) will check tomorrow

 

If so then its just like a rear view mirror, vehicles are on the logical side of the screen and the registration numbers are reversed...

 

Yup, the image is inverted, ie just like looking through a rear view mirror with index plates reversed.

Hope this helps.

Steve

 

what's the subaru part for the carbon surround.. I need one as it was mangled a bit in a break in some time ago...

 

checked and mine is definately inverted....

 

part number anyone?

 

If you mean the carbon surround around my headunit then you can't get it on it's own as it's a kit from Subaru

 

@Tissy do you still have these brackets
