Ciao! Paolo,
It MUST be possible - a friend has just showed me his FFRR (2006 model Range Rover ?HSE?) which has a ViewCam  - a rechargeable camera which MUST work on 2.4Ghz but definitely produces images on the satnav screen in colour.
Anyone out there know any more? (It is not possible to know much less...  )

| Again about rear camera view |
|
Hi Andy,
thanks for the post!
Also in this tread i saw some wireless camera clever mounting! moreover, using the "famouse" 753 code is possible to see several input for satnav LCD like DVD, external and ... (take a sit  ) the rear camera view too!
Of course they are disable and the test show a black screen but with the same input as the picture i attached in the my previous msg.
So seems possible probably! Moreover, considering that the rear camera is already in the system, maybe it can be turned on when we select the back in the gear selector  .
Ok, I will see if someone soon can help us or i will create a new tread here
Ciao
Paolo

The rear camera (aswell as dvd and venture cam ) inputs are fitted to the sat nav screen.
When you go into the diagnostics menu you will see them ..but they say not fitted.
LR had my car for a day as i wanted them to enable the rear view cam.They could not get it to work.After some phone calls to LR technical it apears that LR have to issue an enginnering code which the dealers have to do the work within a specifiyed time.
They did also tell me that they would have to put my car on "Limited Warranty" as i had fitted non LR products ..
Well after a lot of aruguing ..i told them not to bother as i didnt want a "limited Warranty"
There was no guarantee this would of worked anyway.
Since all that i have seen a canbus converter ..this will give you a reverse gear signal ...still not much good for the sat nav screen though.

You need to connect to one of these 3 connectors ..depending on whether you want reversing cam , dvd or companion (venture) cam ..on the back of the sat nav screen
Then access the screen through the diagnostics menu .. G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Sort of related and a bit cheaper than the NAV-TV solution, which I seem to recall cost me about a gazzillion pounds. Three inputs, one auto sensing when selecting reverse and a VGA input for a car PC.
Given the £:$ a lot cheaper.
Bang for buck, Wiggs' solution is the way to go, but its an alternative. D3 HSE V8...

The problem with after market solutions is that they are begging for a side widow to be broken due to the obvious prominance of the "removable" screen. Baddies won't differentiate between a reversing screen and an easily sold gps.
I've been struggling with a suitable design setup like may others as there is a very real safety issue here that needs to be solved.
I sweat every time I reverse park even tho the reversing alarm is there. it does not help if a child suddenly steps off the curb between cars which happened to me recently when a mother put her pram there !! while she was going to get into the parked car behind me.
GPS is not an issue as it is on my mobile phone HTC 3600 [windows mobile 6] on which I have installed TomTom - Joanna Lumley tells me where to go ;^ ) +======

Fair point Malky. The item i have seen in the flesh i cant see on the website, but it may answer your security worries. The monitor is a 2.5" screen on a flexible stalk. It is powered by plugging into the cigar lighter so can be removed in seconds. I think about £130 for cam & monitor. 11 RR 4.4 TDV8

Well to finish off this topic from my point of view.
I glued the camera to the underside of the centre rear brake light plastic mounting using windscreen silastic and spliced the wires into the reverse light circuit on the passengers side.
the LCD monitor is pn a swivel mount attached by 2 sided tape to the flat surface of the dash just infront and to the left of the Tacho. It still allows the full tacho to be seen. the wire was threaded through (using a long coathanger) behind the dash to come out at the fusebox on the passnegers side and the positive solded on to the reverse fuse (it's a thin wire and so the fuse still fits in nicely).
Bingo. I can now see behind me! regards
Peter

I know this is a really old thread... however...
Toying with fitting a reversing camera, in particular to assist with hitching up to trailer/caravan. Really like the idea of being able to reverse up perfectly without endless visits to back of car or finding bystander to direct!
From an external sniff around the tailgate, it seems that there is space in the tailgate handle, pointing straight down, to the right of the number plate lamp. Has anyone investigated - or tried to get access?
Waiting with interest! Thanks all!

Hi knockmore, and welcome.
I don't know if it was on here, or the aulro site ( www.aulro.com.au ) but I have seen a pic in the location you describe. Owner was happy with the result.
Best Wishes,
