and actually i've made a quick mockup using that first image, and squeezing the image and adding "pillarboxes", looking where the grey line is, would be spot on:

Thought i'd add some pics of how it actually looks now when reversing. As you can see the lens distorts the image quite a bit and the lines are in the wrong place - compare with the third pic of what you see in the mirror. I think it doesn't help that the video image is stretched to a ultra...

I added the stick on badge and the stick on "fangs", both from aliexpress, think they look alright!

Ok, thanks all!

It feels like a cover might be missing from my wiper, don’t think I should see that spindle! Or is this normal?

This seems to have worked ok for me, too, although my hole was too close to the boot lid so I couldn't rotate the camera to screw it in, but with some flexing the thread has gone in and I don't think it will come out. it also doesn't sit totally flush with the black section but at a bit of an...

I want to mount the camera without removing the spoiler - sounds like the cable can be threaded but how did you tighten up the nut on the back of the camera? I was wondering if I could reach inside by removing the number plate light but I can’t see how that’s done, either?

They almost always occur in car parks/when manoeuvring. With the interaction between creep/hill hold/regen/opd and changes of direction there’s a lot going on (for the driver). Gently holding the brake just the right amount to control your creep to move forward to slowly park feels very similar...

I’ve ordered the fangs and black badges today, think they’ll look good on the blue!

ACC I’d expect to be “accessory power” or when you’ve put the keys to second position in old money. Basically, goes live when the car is “awake”. Mad that it’s required, I really think a reverse cam should be included on the SE! I didn’t want to faff about with getting to the light cluster as...

Camera is not fitted in the boot lid yet so is just dangling loose, but works!

So the pink is defintely dead, as is the red “acc” cable, but the orange “acc” cable is live, so:

Yeah that’s the same cable setup I have. I measured pink with a multimeter and got 0v, trying both a metal point behind the dash and the shield on the camera phono as reference. I’ll try again later on and double check, but I think my pink is dead. But I’m sure I can find another switched live...

Bold added to your quote - that’s the part that’s different. The lead in 8150 -is- the end of the long lead. I suspect they’ve messed up what’s included, trying to make it better by just terminating with the 4 pin connector instead of your setup that terminates in a phono and you have a separate...

And the end that’s come from the box, there’s no phono connector at this end, just the 4 pin. There’s continuity from the loose red lead here to the loose red lead coming out of the phono at the box end, but I haven’t tested any continuity in the 4 pin connector. I’ve also just done a voltage...

Here the camera assembly, just the 4 pin and no power connector

Ok what you’re saying makes sense, but the cable they’ve supplied to me is different than what you have in the video. The camera tail is just the 4 pin connector, with no separate power input, and I don’t think the power is going into the 4 pin connector. I attached the link to red at the front...

I’m part way through this install (and great videos, thank you!) I have the box connected and it takes over the video when I’m reverse but I’m confused about the camera connection - do I need to connect the pink “rev pow” cable into the camera cable, or is the camera powered at the other end by...

The camera arrived today, much faster shipping than I expected!

My charge point also doesn’t work with my existing (4 year old) T1 to T2 adaptor. Be interested if you find one that does work!
