Rear view camera
« on: November 12, 2013, 09:23:12 pm »
I have kenwood headunit in the loft that I am planning on fitting to the golf that takes a vga connection for a rear view camera, can anyone recommend some decent ones that are value for money and don't look out of place?

I would fit a vw reverse camera but I don't think they are compatible with my hu - please correct me if i am wrong  :P

IIRC Hurdy had a Kenwood and fitted a reverse camera under the bumper of his car.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

On my last car I had a few number plate cameras fitted, I say a few as they are only good for a year or so until the lens gets cracked or condensation sets in. However at £12-15 a go on ebay then I lived with it.

Wouldn't bother buying a brand specific one as it is the same technology for much more cost.

It's the full kit including the drain. It's the badge replacement one, not the numberplate light one. They are going for 350 on ebay so offers around there :)

If you're doing a fitting service for people, I know of a kit that's ready to buy, so you have it ready for your first customer :)
