For the ones who have done this mod on pre touch screen, Im thinking of fitting a rear view camera to the FF and just asking if all I need is these...

) I was going to fit a switch like the PDC, DSC switches? so it looks standard on the dash.

Yes, technology is moving so fast there has to be a better way without all the wires. A battery powered IP camera might do it. Perhaps even a trip to the Spy Shop in London, they might have something suitable? If one could only get a good viewing position for a camera/s from inside the cabin..... .

most home IP cameras are 12 volt driven so Tims idea would work, or there are loads of wifi/BT cameras with dedicated mini monitors on ebay that will do the trick.. ... - .- -.

I saw these 2 and thought that's easier to wire up, even if you fit a cigarette plug and fit into the sockets in the rear of the ff or any of the cars we have its then not tide up to one car, you could even fit it to the rear of trailers with a bit of work.

I fitted a camera years ago using the toysinyour car loom. Works well. I have yesterday fitted a cam to another car using a 2.4ghz transmitter, and it works amazingly well to her the signal from the bumper to the camera input.... |

The advantage of having it triggered by the reversing switch is that you dont have to do anything, it just works. You can still have a switch to put it on when not in reverse if you want. It's fun watching how much spray your throwing out the back on a rainy day |

not keen on the inter-grated number plate light ones=they give an uneven light patten on the rear plate (anal i know) |
