perfect TY

where do i order the cable needed as the cameras are all over eBay but no cables compatable

This is where it can get a bit tricky. I went for a boot release camera and Kufatec interface

 

Not the cheapest option but excellent & well worth it.

 

Have you found a camera you like?

i was probably going to just get one like this

Here's a link to a camera I located for MikeHolroyd (as near as poss to mine). More expensive than the ones you like but excellent picture quality & work perfectly with the interface kit.

 

(Drop Mike a PM, I'm sure he'll confirm details)

ah, if iv fitted the bluetoooth then ill have no room to fit RVC too ??

RVC connects to the smaller connector on the rear of the Columbus.

 

BT connects to the larger Quadlock.

I have both, they fit well enough.

Sorry to hijack the thread slightly. I have been thinking of doing this to my car. Do I need both the items in this thread for the installation.

Secondly I never realised the reversing camera wont work if the Columbus firmware is patched for the battery drain issue. I have a new canbus so I dont suffer this issue, however I have the 4020 firmware that is patched for use on Revision A/B units (mine is revsion but this also includes the battery drain patch.

Does anyone know where I can get the 4020 firmware that will work on a Revison B but without the battery drain patch.

 

Cheers

^ yes, you will need both those parts

After a lot of frustration, my camera image is now perfect, now that the power is taken from the boot interior light rather than the reverse lights. There's a photo of the image I now get in post 14 of this thread.

 

 

By way of a footnote: Mike; I now see they do a suppressor/relay (extra cost) which might have resolved your interference issue in one go. Better late.... & all that...
