Reverse Camera SE LR

[DeanH]

not yet ... and dont want to ... after removing the trim ... I might be able squeeze past cable through some opening on to camera fitted somewhere near number plate.

Will be interesting to see how you get on as I'm looking at a Trophy just for the camera.

Looking forward to seeing the end result, and hearing how you got on.

Hope you took some photos along the way!

Hi @aristotleMG4, wondering if you had any success with this

 

[giorgitus]

I am very interested as well. Maybe with some photos of the installation process.

does anyone know if installing the camera has any effect on the warranty?
I would think not but just wanted to check

So as promised, updating the thread here showing the wireless reverse camera affixed to a registration plate frame. I attached the frame to the factory fitted bolt holes instead of the cowboy drilled into the bodywork holes that the dealer did (a story for and from another thread!), this allows enough clearance to mount the camera at the top of the registration frame and give enough clearance to still access the boot release catch.

I used the standard euroclip registration plate frame with 3M VHB tape affixed to the reverse camera mount behind it. Note that you cannot fully open the hinge of the reg plate frame with that installed, but you can sufficiently open it enough to insert the reg plate and pull down the sprung holders.

Simple install and very pleased with outcome. Works out more cost effective to buy a pack of two reg frames...image of the front frame.....

Hi

Where did you mount the screen in the car?

Many thanks

Almost certainly.

I asked my dealer, and he said that the situation is a bit on the edge, but in his opinion, there shouldn't be any issues if the cables are not modified. Of course, he added that I can't complain if I hear strange creaking noises coming from the plastics that we removed and reassembled.


In case of issues, I could disconnect it and take it to the service center without any problems.

I don't think they would have a way to see that it was installed.



I picked up the car today. I think I will wait a couple of months and then try to install it. It arrived yesterday from China.

The warranty statement has the following line

• The vehicle has not been altered from the original specification, where said alterations maybe found to be the cause of any subsequent component failure.

so I think they can only say warranty is void if they can prove that was the cause

... although I don't like the use of the word may in that sentence - it's a bit weasel-worded.

I mounted the screen on the phone shelf, wire thread through the cable tidy channel to the cigarette power socket beneath.

I've just completed that task over a few days.
There are no holes to drill except one in the hatch plastic trim near the opening handle.
If anyone is interested, I can explain how it's done.

Did you did some photo? How it's working?

 

[cocole]

Sadly, I forgot to take any picture during the installation process.
It's not that complicated if you take your time.
It's integrated in the main screen when you select R.

Does it replace completely the sensors page or you still see the yellow green red sensor?The steering lines, how should they be?

It completely replace that page.
But the sensors still work (ie you get the beeps).
The steering line move when you turn the steering wheel.

Did you disconnect the 12V battery to install it, or did you connect everything with the infotainment powered?

 

[cocole]

I did not disconnect the 12V battery.

 

[BrownChair]

any thoughts on if this camera would impact the software update process for the car?
