The problem I've not yet worked out is not which camera to buy but what to display the picture on and discrete mounting of the monitor


What you really need is a later nav setup, a CID instead of the MID and a small mod to take an external RGB input.

I used to be indecisive; now I'm not so sure...

Possibly but, more likely to be used as a TV feed....

Little reminder... :)

IIRC there are several regulations regarding what can and can't be "viewed" by the driver whist a vehicle is "in motion" .. these regs had to be amended to allow SatNav's, but still apply to other "screens".

I have driven vehicles where TV screens have been fitted that have interlocks on the handbrake so as to prevent "viewing" whilst in motion, and a truck with a rearview camera that was wired through reverse gear.

I also believe it is not permissable to have a rear view camera INSTEAD of a mirror.

I don't know the law on this at all .. just things I seem to have picked up in passing ... but might be worth considering the legal position ??

HTH

It wouldn't be in TV mode when driving as I would want the info on the screen.

You spotted my deliberate mistake.

Well done.

Where shall I sent the prize.

Of course I meant to put WITHOUT CONSIDERATION TO OTHERS

What wiring do the screens need? I wonder if it'd be possible to wire up a screen to act as a reversing camera for a caravan so that the screen was fed via the 12S socket, there'd only be a couple of spare wires though.

I had thought about changing the mid, what would be involved? how would it affect the information currently displayed on it?
