Reversing camera
Hi guys
First post soi be gentle with me. I am wondering how har it would be to fit a reversing camera to my 2005 Audi A8. I want it to link into the MMI not to a seperate screen. If it helps the MMI has an anologue tv and has an additional 2 AV inputs that are not being used. I have had a quote for £450 to fit which I feel is a little on the exessive side. Any coments please Mark

£450 sounds about right for the proper camera. You could do a cheap eBay special, but it wouldn't auto-select, and have the guide lines, etc.

I've just bought a camera from ebay with guide lines
 Right enough, there's no auto select, but I can live with that

I'm re-installing at the moment. The previous owner had replaced the boot lock with the camera. Very neat job, but I got worried when someone pointed out that, if I got a flat battery, I wouldn't be able to get into the boot!
There's a long thread on here somewhere of what I'm up to, but basically, I'm trying to fit a 'dummy' boot lock into the nearside rear light to mirror the rear one on the offside. I've hollowed out a second-hand boot lock and the camera fits a treat. But I'm not yet happy with the fit of the dummy lock in the rear light. Luckily, I have a spare rear light to work on! Been a bit distracted of late, but hope to get back on it in the summer.

By the way, welcome to the forum!
Tradition dictates that you should post in the 'Introductions' section, with photos of the car, and let us know where abouts you are.
