A local electronic firm with a good reputation can fit me one in the Mondeo for about £45. They recommend  Nextbase which do one with a rear facing camera integral. Can anyone recommend these, or alternatives with a similar setup? Apparently a separate camera fitted at the rear can cause loss of the DAB signal.

I take it you never speed, Chris, or get annoyed at other drivers and let them know? Or, in fact, transgress in any way at all? No? Go right ahead and get one fitted.

I have a Nextbase in the Omega. Pretty good for the money imo. 
It doesn't have a rear facing feature, just films whats happening through the windscreen. I originally had it in the 190, but it interfered badly with the DAB signal.

The guy at the electrickery shop said that the Nextbase duo type are OK for this. It was only the separate rear ones that they found interfered with the DAB. Is the 190 DAB aftermarket? If so, that may account for it, as I would assume built in models should have better screening.

I can see a good case for not having GPS built in, so will investigate at a dashcam shop, Halfords(?), as I may get something off with their TC. I understand that some NB models, possibly all, can be swapped to another vehicle quite easily.

The 190 is 28 years old, so yes its an aftermarket unit.  reasonable quality one though I think. Kenwood something or other.

I guess that in built in DAB, screening would have been a factor.

You won't get anything else off with a trade card on dash cams.  The old model of the duo are crap and if there any available will be in the clearance cabinets.  Don't confuse them with the newer version which is much better due to a better rearward lense.  Still not as good as 2 separate cams front and rear.

I have a NextBase, but only a forward facing one. It does the job ok. 
I ordered an additional lead and windscreen part so that I can easily swap it between my vehicles. This way it takes just a few seconds to remove from one vehicle and fit in the other vehicle.

Thanks guys. Useful info.

He He. The original radio wireless probably had valves in it, let alone DAB.

The originals are worth a few quid now to anoraks who love originality. 
When they see the state of disrepair Ive let the Cosworth interior fall into, it reduces them to tears.

Any camera is a good idea, I`ve tried an additional camera to capture the drivers POV

 I messaged the guy driving the red truck in this clip & he`s using a Gopro.

Having an expensive camera doesn't stop people from being retarded...
