Hello

I have one Audio/Video input free in DVD player and want to install some? camera in the front bumper of my sky. I dont know if rear-view-camera connected will give enough clear image?? Will I be able to see something on the sreen with speed 80-120 km/h? If not than maybe someone know what kind of camera will do the work ??Any help would be appreciated !

Hey,

yes it is Chris and I cant wait for it. Matt spent all day driving from shop to shop looking for a front camera. He couldnt find any, and none of the staff at the shop couldnt recommend one so I decided to post it no here with hope for some help. Maybe someone has a better idea what to do with A/V input. I have 3 of them, 1 for rear-view-camera, next for front-camera and one more for ?? (dont want playstation etc.)

P.S. this is the link with some good camara in the front bumper -- http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=0euuDhG9GEk -Im after something like that

and one more link with some ebay-sh,,, camera -- http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=leYWVNpY184 - thats the reason why Im looking for some help, I dont want to buy by mistake a camera with such a poor image.

thanks

one more thing Im not sure about. If i install rear-view-camera in the front I`m gonna have image back to front because it is a reversing camera ,unless your screen have the option to mirror the image. ??

That first video link is shot using a MiniDV video camera, so it will be good quality.

I didnt think the ebay camera was too bad - you wont have the resolution to zoom in on a number plate, but considering that you've probably got a 7" screen and only hooking up a camera to view not record, i'd go with an ebay bullet cam.

i was just outside playing around with my reversing camera. in the middle of finding a location for it. Stagea not the easiest car to reverse park at night. my camera is goin behind the rear window.

as i was playing around i noticed via the screen is was very responsive ... like i was testing it moving it real fast around the interior, very clear also and was told its good for night time, but i will have to wait and see. should be fully installed and hooked up today. its gonna run constant power via the headunits power and i can just select the screen to view. i'll let u know how it handles doing the speed limit and how clear it is ..

its a Viscom VS2105N , from jb hi-fi, not alot on the web about them :cheers:

ok all in and very neatly tucked away. sitting on the rear break light houseing on the window. it see's a fair bit, very sunny outside and bright.

in motion 80kph. very smooth not laggy like a mobile phone or anything. picture quality... well its not dvd class but it could look like 10MP just guessing. can kinda of make out number plates at the lights.

only problem i had was . whats on my left hand side, is on the right hand side of the screen. but when i flip it , everything goes upside down, but only using this for perfect parking so no drama's there.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
