Reversing Camera fitted
 
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 :notworthy :thumb:
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

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

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

Tissy 20 April 2007 01:38 PM

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.

It's a Subaru part :thumb:

Phil 23 April 2007 02:18 PM

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

richardg 23 April 2007 02:36 PM

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

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.

Phil 23 April 2007 09:08 PM

AndyMoody 23 April 2007 10:02 PM

Tissy - did you get my email this evening?

Andy.

Tissy 24 April 2007 12:38 AM

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 :thumb:

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

Tissy 17 June 2007 04:14 PM

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

Phil 17 June 2007 04:19 PM

Yep its on

Not sure about the angle but I can play with that ;)

Tissy 17 June 2007 04:22 PM

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.

richardg 17 June 2007 11:56 PM

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

Simon 69 18 June 2007 09:42 PM

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...

Tissy 18 June 2007 09:55 PM

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

Hope this helps.

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
