Great minds think alike, or.....
Happened to park next to "awolfinsheepsclothes" yesterday at the meet and he has a fairly similar reversing camera install to mine. Similarities and differences:
1. Located centrally above numberplate, but directly on the plastic surround.
2. Powered from the reversing light like mine.
3. Standard eBay/chinese product, very slightly different casing shape to mine.
4. Possibly hi-res widescreen image? 3rd-party head unit, not an RNS, with a better display.
5. Wireless connection to the front of the car, not a cable.
