Retrofitting rear view camera

Her indoors doesn’t like driving the 4.2 SC as it doesn’t have a rear view camera.

I’d therefore like to fit something that prevents her driving into bollards etc. I’m not averse to taking out the interior if needs be, but if there’s something wireless that gives good vision and connectivity that’s also fine.

Is there anything that connects to the original head unit (2005 SC) and again, not averse to swapping out the head unit for an aftermarket one.

All replies very welcome as I’m new to all this fancy tech.

Cheers

Jonny

Hi Jonny,

I was just reading LRSTaylor’s latest updates on his S’charged, then took a look at your thread title ….

Check out Page 6, where there’s reference to a rear view / reverse cam set up…

… in fact, the whole topic is a great read

Afraid not - I do have a Foxwell NT530 but not sure it’ll have the same functionality. What would the Gap give me ?

Did have a peripheral look at that when LRS initially posted it, but ideally wanted an integrated unit.

How does the rear view camera connect to the front mirror - is it wireless ?

Gap enables you to fit a facelift sat nav display with reverse camera. But it’s quite a lot of work.

Cheaper option is to see if you can get a GVIF unit still. This puts a reverse camera on the existing display.

4.2SC delivered today to the new owner who is very pleased with it. Lots to learn about the 3.6 but looking forward to it.
