Very nicely done custom installation, ingenious and practical indeed.

Well done there Sir.

 

Thanks very much mate , pretty chuffed with it so far and sunglasses still fit.. bonus! . LCD has 2 inputs so am going to mount a front cam in the lower grille if all goes well .

i'm a noob at this here and don't want to hijack brigante's great thread on the cam install so will hopefully have a go at doing a guide when its all sorted .

[Nickster]

agreed with clive, certainly a nice custom job you've come up with there

 

you should have less wiring too as it isnt going into a head unit

 

 

Thanks again for the guide brig and the nice comment. it was a bit wafty cutting the roof lining!

 

yep , hoping that once I get the cam cable through the boot door that I can somehow drag it across the roof lining to the screen . Not sure how i'm going to route the cable front the front one yet though as I don't know where the bulkhead grommets are

[Stoney871]

I believe the grommet is under the passenger side footwell behind the internal Fusebox.

[Brigante]

why do you need do anything with the bulk head?

 

the wiring route should be a lot easier for you as your screens in the roof lining so the wire has no need to go into the footwell like with my route

 

instead you just need to follow my guide for actually mounting the camera to the tail gate n getting it into the car, then follow my wire route along the edge of the rooflining behind the door seals, b pillar etc

 

but when you get to the top of the passenger door way, you should be able to pull out your courtesy light and thread the wire from the door way across the roof lining and out through the hole in the middle then connect it to the screen

Routing of a front camera.

[Nickster]

Cheers brig , will follow those routing instructions .
Stoney's right , I'm also going to mount a camera in the front grill and there's a grommet I need to go through behind the glovebox area

[Brigante]

Ah ok yup you'll need to do that then lol

Didnt realize you wanted to mount a front camera too

Its summin i've been meaning to do too

Just need to get round to getting the extra camera and sussing out a way of wiring it in cause i've only got one camera input on back of me headunit

[Nickster]

Got the rear cam fitted and wired up , works really well .

Made a bit of a boob with the front cam lol! , fortunately I tested it before fitting and realised I bought a rear cam for the front so everything was back to front and no option on the lcd to reverse the image. So if your fitting a front cam look out for ones that say non-mirror. Oh we'll , egr valve plate and drl fog surrounds came today so got something else to play with this weekend

[Brigante]

got any photos of it all up working dude?

 'ere you go mate , Almost done apart from I need to change the power wire to the lcd . its currently tapped in to a thin yellow/green wire on the back of the head unit . waiting for a piggyback fuse to come so I can wire it properly to the acc .
