Reversing Camera

[TigerFish]

I now have my Sony XAV-W1installed and working, along with the Parrot CK3100 handsfree. Just my Vibe sub left to do. Anyway, the headunit has a reversing camera input (RCA video input), has anyone got any recommendations on the camera? The headunit can flip the video, so the video doesn't have to be reversed already. It just needs to be as small as possible, with good quality video and preferably good low light capability. Any recommendations gratefully received.

Anyone?

hmm, was hoping someone would've fitted a camera and might have a recomendation. In the absense of that, any comments on this one? I would remove the camera from the mount that it is on to fit it to my car, just the spec I have no idea about. I do like the idea of the guide lines being built in.

I've thought about trying to find a 2nd hand reversing system found on the new GS's but they are rare as not many are being broken!

I reckon you could wire those in with a bit of work and they give you reversing angles as a box rather than just a picture if you know what I mean

I'll try and get a pic!

EDIT : PIC

Yeah, that is the kind of thing I'm after. The camera I have linked to does superimpose that guide box onto the picture, I think for the sake of £20 I might as well give it a go and see what the outcome is.

Which camera have you gone for then? Link?

For £20 I might be tempted!! I have a TV with an empty RCA atm but I don't want it to cut over my music and switch to AUX.

I'm in the process of finding a sat nav screen which I can double up as reversing camera which will do me lovely!

The link is in the post further up, click where it says "this camera". Only thing is it is an NTSC signal, not PAL, I can set that on my head unit though, so it shouldn't be a problem. I ordered it a couple of hours ago so if you are not in a huge rush, I can update you once I have tried it out.

Sorry, totally missed the link!

Hmm, reads like good value for money but yeah, please, let me know how you get on with it!!

Cheers

The camera has arrived, I am hoping to have a go at fitting it at the weekend, weather permitting.
