Her indoors doesn’t like driving the 4.2 SC as it doesn’t have a rear view camera.

I’d therefore like to fit something that prevents her driving into bollards etc. I’m not averse to taking out the interior if needs be, but if there’s something wireless that gives good vision and connectivity that’s also fine.

Is there anything that connects to the original head unit (2005 SC) and again, not averse to swapping out the head unit for an aftermarket one.

All replies very welcome as I’m new to all this fancy tech.

Cheers

Jonny

Hi Jonny,

I was just reading LRSTaylor’s latest updates on his S’charged, then took a look at your thread title ….

Check out Page 6, where there’s reference to a rear view / reverse cam set up…

… in fact, the whole topic is a great read

Thanks 83 - will have a read.

Do you have a gap iid?

Afraid not - I do have a Foxwell NT530 but not sure it’ll have the same functionality. What would the Gap give me ?

Gap enables you to fit a facelift sat nav display with reverse camera. But it’s quite a lot of work.

Cheaper option is to see if you can get a GVIF unit still. This puts a reverse camera on the existing display.

Sorry Andy - what’s a GVIF ?

They used to be £150 ish. Well maybe second hand.

Finally got it sorted - bought a MY10 TDV8 with reverse cam

Bit extreme just for a reversing camera but I like your style

4.2SC delivered today to the new owner who is very pleased with it. Lots to learn about the 3.6 but looking forward to it.

Hi there!

If you're looking to add a rear view camera to your 2005 SC, there are a few options you can consider:

Wireless Rear View Camera Kits: These kits often come with everything needed for installation without running wires through the vehicle. They typically include a camera and a monitor that can connect wirelessly. Look for models that are compatible with your vehicle’s size and specifications.

Aftermarket Head Units: If you're open to swapping the head unit, many aftermarket units come with built-in support for rear view cameras. Brands like Pioneer, Kenwood, and Sony offer models with good connectivity features and large screens.

Integration Kits: Some companies offer integration kits that allow you to connect a rear view camera to your existing head unit. Make sure to check compatibility with your specific model.

Professional Installation: Since you're new to this tech, consider having a professional handle the installation. They can ensure everything is set up correctly and safely.

Feel free to ask if you have more questions or need specific product recommendations!

Cheers!
