  • thought you boys might find this amusing!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5dL4DPm-DE

  • Yes, for basic use the 300 looks like an absolute bargain to me. These are cost prices BTW, I do not earn out of this group buy. I am doing it because I think on the roads today, with insurance clai

Mine is wired into the ignition live on the rear wiper, so all the wiring is kept in the tailgate.

That way it comes on automatically when I drive.

Makes sense, thank you. I'm thinking though that you would want one with the motion detection as say your parked in a space, someone reverses out next to you, misjudges and scrapes down the rear - you won't see the number plate or anything if you only have the front facing camera. How would you wire it in then?

Sorry for noob questions :)

I'm planning the same, and mounting the camera on the nearside of the screen to minimise the wiring needed, as the wiring for the bootlid runs down that side anyway (at least it does in the fabia)

I'd either look for an ignition live, or more likely buy a Power Magic.

This stores power and then runs the camera while the ignition is off, saving it running down the battery.

Athough two cameras are fine overnight, after a few days they will deplete the battery. So buying the Power Magic unit might be sensible.

Yes have seen this, but where would you connect the Power Magic for the rear camera in the car? Can you have more than one camera connected to the Power Magic in which case the wires will have to run through the car to the front?

The Power Magic fits inline between the power source and the Camera power wire. One per Camera.

So you just hide the Power Magic behind the rear panel I believe, although I've never bought one.

Great, thank you very much. Now just need to see what the finances will allow after buying the car lol..

Wow! This GB seems to be gathering more interest than the first main one! :thumbup: Suppose there's been a few months for footage from the last buy to be shown in various threads.

Hmm seriously tempted by a 380...

Can you PM me some payment details for a bank transfer and I'll seek permission this evening.

Can anyone confirm if it can be wired through the a pillar and into the fuse box.

Yes I ran mine behind the roof lining and down the A pillar (keep the wire away from the airbag) to the fusebox:

Your PM box seems to be full as I can't send you a message.

PM me when you've cleared it.

All sorted. :)

Sorry, when do you want the remaining balance??

Would it cause confusion if i paid off the remainder now or would you prefer me to wait until you give everyone the nod??
