Default Rear camera ??

Has anybody been able to mount a rear view camera yet? It is almost impossible to park anywhere except head in parking. I have nav which is stock with Hud would hate to lose it. (HUD)

2007 vert.

Thanks

Alan

I bought a Garmin 2798 with a WiFi Backup camera. Worked pretty well.
I like Garmin navs and needed a backup camera.

I later bought a Pioneer head unit with front and rear cameras and like it better..

Good luck, 2k

For less than $1K you can buy a modern stereo for Double D Mods here on the forum and get all modern amenities including: better sound quality, Android Auto, use maps from your phone, access to any music for free, voice recognition that actually works, BT, Pandora, back up camera, etc...

The radio has no bearing on your heads up.

Yes, individuals have installed rear view cameras. Some have hooked cameras into a separate/dedicated monitor mounted on the dash or center console. Other's, like myself, have aftermarket stereo/NAV units that are 'camera ready'. If you do a search, you can find several threads on the forum on how install them; that's what I did before jumping in and doing mine.

Wrong

The OEM Nav displays arrows indicating approaching turns, in the HUD.

Not an important enough feature to keep me from upgrading to an aftermarket head unit, but some owners really like this added bit of info.

Adding a cam to an OEM Nav, if it's even possible, would be a major PITA. Check with Ray Kawal on this possibility as well.

It was possible by adding a Lockpick 360 adapter to the OEM to allow a video feed, but it did not always work well, so they are hard to find.
There is a company (forum vendor) (Navtool) that does have the ability to add a video feed to the OEM Nav. It's around $400.00

I went another route and added a monitor inside the driver sunvisor where the vanity mirror used to be. It's stealth, can't be seen, and easy to access when the camera view is needed.
I use my monitor for a front facing camera for parking. The camera is mounted on top of the center air dam, just below the radiator.
