Default Rear View Cam

This was quite an easy mod. I had to text James (Mkoneman) a few times for some help but generally pretty easy.

First you have to take the TV tuner and CD changer out so you can get to the Bose amp, this will be your 12V power source. Then connect the camera using the AV cables into the back of the TV tuner. The next part is to remove the boot lock and pop the camera in. You will need to cut a piece of plastic to size to secure the camera in as it is a little smaller then the boot lock.

The only downside is people trying to push it in when opening the boot

How do you change the input from iphone to the rear camera? Have you got one AV input in the tuner like myself or have you got 2?

My I Phone comes on AV1 and the camera AV2. Another thing Oli and it isn't strictly relevant to this thread. But did you know if you get a USB charger to plug into the cigarette lighter and then connect the USB that comes with the Apple composite cables into that it charges the I phone whilst also playing films and music. Only worked it out a few days ago.

haha - yes i did...:-)...i bet your battery didn't last long on roadtrips then?

Damn, i wish i had a 2nd av input...i only have 1 which i use for the rear entertainment kit. The rear ent kit does have a few but they're all used (1x for dvd changer, 1x for iphone, 1x playstation). I put the nav plus on AV and then flick between inputs on the rear ent kit to get iphone/dvd/playstation.

If anyone has a solution to this, let me know

Oli

Yeah, its eBay. I paid £1 for the camera and then £9 for delivery. I am pretty sure I ordered a PAL one, but I need to change the regional settings to Brazil for it to work clearly and then back to UK for the TV which is a pain.
