Wireless Reverse Cameras

[walkoau]

Just wondering if any of you guys on here have them? How good they are? general thoughts on them. Thinking of putting one on my m35.

Solar powered?

No?

Wires.

Wireless is a lie.

I say this, cos i think you might want wireless, so you dont have to hack into your cars wiring harness.

Which is understandable for an m35 (thats new isnt it?)

Edit: Camera needs power from back there somewhere, and you need a reverse sensor wire.

You still have to splice into the harness at the reverse light for the camera power and at the shifter for the reverse trigger switch.

There is a sender and receiver, so you don't have to run the wires through the length of the car..... Check them out... Heaps on eBay.

Reason for me wanting to go with wireless is-it seem really difficult to run wires through the tail/hatch door. All the skins and top half are bonded together with what looks like urethane.

Thanks

Yes fitted one in my son's Patrol.

Got it from Jaycar but there's other cheap models around these days.

Repco were recently selling one for around $100.

Easy to install, the monitor clipped over the rear view mirror and just needed power which was easy to find via the convenient overhead lights.

The camera's wireless unit also needed power plus the reverse light signal which we had down at the rear of the Patrol so then it was just a matter of mounting and adjusting the camera.

Worked well AND when you grab reverse at the servo, you pick up their in-store cameras.
