Reversing Camera

[robereed]

I am trying to fit a reverse camera to interface with the Sat Nav screen. Cheapest so far is £600 fitted!! You can buy the interface unit from nav-tv uk for £250, would fit it myself if I could figure out how to remove the unit from the dashboard to access the cable which fits to the back of the screen. Bright ideas anyone?

They are available but from aus may be cheaper to import it and get a plug and play

My Patrol is a 2005 SVE with the factory 'Birdview' sat nav. I had a test drive in a Pathfinder with the same system and that had a camera which automaticly used the sat nav screen when in reverse, so it should be possible.

Hi ya Robereed

Ok you need to remove the cd/radio unit to see if you have a free Yelow RCA input lead follow the directions

On the main centre fascia you have the heater control just above the dials you will find 2 screws remove these
Then give the cd/heated surround a sharp tug it's healed by 2 clips on the upper part just above the radio unit
Once removed you will find the CD unit held in a cage assembly removed by 4 further screws
