Anyone tried aftermarket reversing camera retrofit on the Kamiq? Disapointed to find it wasnt standard on the monte carlo but hey i suppose i should have checked b4 buying.

Sure, which year is the Car?

Its a feb 2025 model

Mines a 2020 Kamiq SE L and I fitted an AliExpress reverse camera. Integrated into the hatch handle make sure you get the correct one, the shapes differ slightly in what they offer. About £30 ISH a couple of years ago, still working as it should.

Not on your model but I just installed an aliexpress camera and it was pretty straightforward and truly plug and play.

Thanks both ill have a look at those.

I was looking at the Aliexpress RVC retrofit. Where did you route the wires through? Did you push them under the roof lining or go down d-pillar and through door sill trims?

With mine I went down d pillar, down side of seat back and along sill. It avoids the airbags.

There’s a couple of good videos on YouTube about routing the wires.

The first is a genuine camera so wiring itself is different but good for helping with routing wires

AliExpress one doesn’t need coding or canbus wiring as it’s all built in to the quad lock adaptor.

But hard reset the radio (press and hold power button until it restarts) once installed for it to work.

Yes as above post really, route along under the sill trims through into the boot space.

There is a Kamiq RVC guide on youtube as well.
