I am a gadget freak, and want to add this to my car:

or

Anyone done this?

Can you recommend a unit for me?

Cheers

 

I put this one in my wife's Jeep:
http://www.rostra.com/products/rearsight-universal.html 100% happy with it.

 

Thats pretty sweet, I want to add one to my HU, along with nav and blue tooth.

 

What did it cost?

 

Thanks. I thought about the different options, but ended up deciding that I wanted the display in a location where you should be looking when backing up the car to begin with (the mirrors). I felt more comfortable with her reversing while looking into her mirrors instead of looking at her radio.

I don't remember, I got it off of ebay from a Toyota dealer. At the time, I think Rostra manufactured the reverse camera systems for Toyota. I'll see if I can find a current price somewhere. I put that in well over a year ago, and with technology prices it could be a lot more, or a lot less now.

 

jim010 - PM incoming sir.

I had to modify a custom mount for her Jeep though since it doesn't use a standard mirror mount. Don't ask me what I did, I really don't remember. I don't think this would be necessary on our Mustangs, it should be a straight forward install since the mirror mounts to the windshield.

 

Got the PM. Thanks, John.

Cheers

 

I would like to add to my truck. Did you go in the head liner or A pillar?

 

Power and and reverse gear sensor wire up the A-pillar, optical cable under the roof/headliner trim on the side.

 

I just got the Rostra mirror with the camera for $100. I should have it in a week and a bit. I'll post pics.

 

Awesome! Good luck!

 

Just e mailed then for infoe. please let us know how your install goes.

 

Subscribing. I'd like to get this so I don't bang up my new (replacement) chin spoiler

 

Javier, could you post the link you got it from or shoot me a PM??

 

I got mine off Ebay.

 

Thanks

 

I got the mirror today. It is new, and I got it for $100. It is a Rostra, and is for a Toyota, but it snaps right in. I'll put it in this weekend, but I need to figure out where to put the camera. Suggestions?

Cheers

 

Looking at what others have done, it seems to be that trunk keyhole is the place to put it.

I have a convertible, though, and if the fob goes dead, there is no way of getting into the trunk. I thought of a remote trunk switch, but this also needs power.

I am concerned over nothing?

 

OK,

I need help here.

Where do I tap in for power? The wire is labelled ing power, which I take to mean ignition power. What wire am I looking to tap into and where?

Cheers

 

Generally you just want a switched 12V, which you can get from the passenger footwell fuse block, just get an add-a-fuse to push in, look in your owner's manual for a diagram and open slots, then try with a voltmeter/cirucit tester til you've found one that's on only when the ignition key is turned.
