Rear View Camera Installion

Wal-Mart strikes again! and I could not resist the low price on a Rear View Camera. So here are some pics and run-down on the installation:

Yes, I do have a GPS screen. I have not read anywhere that a camera can be hooked into it though. Are you going to tell me it can? I'd love it.

Your installation got me thinking....
Using the interface mentioned above, I wonder if you could activate and deactivate the interface controller using the reverse parking light as a trigger? 2022 P440e AB

Well you are not alone. There is lots written questioning this, but no real answers that I can find. The nearest was on a Disco 3 forum: http://www.disco3.co.uk/dl/?WoodmanVideoGuide.pdf

Has anyone tried Woodman's suggestion on a RRS for a rear view camera?

(The "semi official US kit" is going to be $900 by the time I pay tax and shipping, rather than the $130 my job cost. Of course it would be better!)

Wouldn't you know it! I just had the camera installed for two days and they come out with a larger monitor - 3.5" rather than the original 2.5" (cheaper too at $112).

So I picked up the larger kit today and mounted that as well - a bit differently. Both pick up wirelessly from the same camera, so it was pretty easy. See last two slides of http://www.admiral.bc.ca/RRSC/rvc

(Now I have a spare camera - what to do with it? - Yes I have seen some uncouth suggestions on this site!)

I used exactly the same kit and put it in my Defender for offroading. V. easy to do - if I can do it, anyone can. Picks up CCTV from security cameras as you pass by warehouses etc. Bigger screen would be better.
