    Rear view reverse camera to replace one number plate light! Any experience?

    Quick question where did you take the power feed for the camera? mine arrived and is installed and Itook a feed from the reversing light wiring but it seems very intermittent working, was not sure if the canbus affects the voltage in any way or I just have a bad joint.

    Rear view reverse camera to replace one number plate light! Any experience?

    Does the boot handle camera still operate the boot unlock switch ?. I know it sounds like a daft question, but on my 2011 8P when you use the boot handle it unlocks the boot. I assume it still works the same or is it solid plastic ?. Thanks

    Pioneer CarPlay Headunit, has anyone got one fitted yet?

    Fitted mine exactly as leshkin has advised and works great. Just don't do what I did and drive the car with the glove box fully disconnected or you will end up with an airbag warning light that has to be cleared. Apart from that it's a 10 minute job to get the GPS cable in my place.

    Checked that and all seems fine, cleaned the contacts but has not changed. I will see if I can get a garage to scan it for me and hopefully fix the problem. Thanks for the suggestions

    Thanks leshkin, I just grounded it to the stereo chassis for now. On a side note after refitting the glovebox I have an airbag light showing where the handbrake warning light and speedo is. If I turn the ignition on it comes on then disappears and comes back on again. I can turn the passenger...

    Can anyone advise if you can still ground the parking brake cable? In the manual it is showing the positive of the handbrake. Or can I run the cable to another location?. Don't really fancy pulling the handbrake surround apart.

    Anyone have any thoughts on running use cables from the head unit, from the pioneer sph da-120 I have to run 2x usb cables and an Hdmi cable. I was thinking of making a hole in the back of the glovebox and running them through.

    Mine is now half installed managed to get the mic and head unit working and into place, tried the gps antenna between the air vents as suggested but to be honest not happy with it, after checked the visible satellites it improved on top of the dash. Ran out of light today so hopefully tomorrow...

    I always assumed it would need clear line of sight with the sky, might try it in a few locations to see what works best for me. I went for the pioneer SPH-DA120 in the end, couldn't warrant the cost of the higher end units as I bought an F10BT when they first came out think it cost me about...

    Well I ordered the cables from Dynamic sounds yesterday so hopefully should arrive in the next day or two. Any recommendations on placement of the Gps antenna? The last unit I had was placed in the centre of the windscreen, wondered if anyone would recommend another location? Thanks

    Great thanks for the reply, it was a few years ago now since I have tried an android device. The misses has a Samsung Galaxy s4 but I was never that keen on it. As I work on Apple equipment most days It's kind of second nature to me now. hopefully get all the cables order over the next day...
