Reversing Camera


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I am from NZ and I saw on trademe that there are many reversing cameras for sale. Any idea if the one in the picture below can be connected to our v35 sat nav screen without any issue?

THanks!

Mate,

Let me tell you a secret. Dun even worry about them being able to be hooked up to our V35s, the fact is that these cams are crap....

The 1st one I bought...after parking the V35 in the sun, the front glass piece fell off...and after a while, the black anodised layer faded away....then finally, the humidity that built up during cold mornings killed it...

I then bought a 2nd one (different brand) with a revised cam housing so that the glass would not fall off..guess what? it died in 2 days...i suspect that everytime i went to change gears, it had to pass REVERSE, which then turned the cam on, and may have shorted out a resistor or something..

Verdict? I won't bother if I was you....

I bought a Panasonic camera similar to the look of this ONE that works better than the OEM one. Much better visibility at night. But it was $300 (even when bought in Japan)

The one in this link looks good but I can not speak for the quality.

The key thing is you need one that outputs in NTSC.

Cheers

Andy
