    Front camera install

    Ok that's great. The camera I bought was quite cheap from Aliexpress. It doesn't really fit properly under my rings as I have installed the honeycomb grill. Have others done this install that could recommend a good camera that fits in the honeycomb grill?

    Front camera install

    After checking with my multimeter, it appears that all the fuses from the engine bay fuse box are permanently on. It looks like I will have to get a wire through the firewall to the cabin to get a switched live. Anyone done this before?
