shiwarrior Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hey all No idea if this is at all possible, but i know that a few people on here got something like this fitted : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rover-Rear-Backup-Camera-Focus/dp/B0154O27FC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1520273197&sr=8-2&keywords=ford+focus+reversing+camera but is there one that plugs into the cig lighter for its power as I do not want to cut any wires ? also want it with bluetooth to sync to my phone, as i don't want to add a screen in the car any ideas guys ?

eddie eastwood Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 just scotch lock it to the reversing light wiring not sure about bluetooth as ours is connected to the Android radio/cd unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiwarrior Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 thanks for your reply so from what i can understand as im no DIYer , I have never heard of this "Scotch Lock" before, am I right in thinking this will make it easier to join the wires rather than cutting and stripping myself ? its basically saves me doing it, but im still cutting the wire ? I wont be keeping the car as i want to get a Mk 3 in a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micro Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Scotchloks basically cut the insulation and make a connection to both wires via a metal "M" piece. If they're sized correctly, they don't normally damage the wire itself and make a reasonable low-current connection. As for viewing video on your phone - this is probably something you could bodge together but would no doubt cost more than just buying a small 4.3" screen off eBay (£10ish) and hiding it away somewhere.

Micro Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just search "4.3" tft" on eBay, you will find various screens £8-20ish. Some come wth cameras, some without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiwarrior Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 ah ok, maybe something like this : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-3-TFT-Monitor-Screen-Foldable-Car-Rear-View-Screen-for-Reverse-Camera-UK/253240206577?hash=item3af64ae4f1:g:ihgAAOSwXeJYDxK4 foldaway in the glove box or leave it ontop of the dashboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
