Hi all,
Has anyone had any experience at installing a reversing camera on their RX8, I have seen some funky looking dashcam/reversing camera mirrors that clip over the original rear view mirror, just wondering if anyone has successfully installed one and have any recommendations?

Re: Reversing camera
I'm sure I recall one member having a reversing camera hooked-up to their OEM satnav screen.

Re: Reversing camera
I have just recently installed a double din head unit which was supplied with a free reversing camera. Thought it would be rude not to fit it and it was a doddle. I was also fitting a low profile sub in the boot at the same time so i was running some cables that way. It already has parking sensors fitted so it was easy to get the switch power from the reversing lamp and then the other power was part of the signal cable. There is a grommet through to the outside for easy cable routing as well.

Re: Reversing camera
The one I mentioned looks to be a cheap eBay job, I must say the picture quality is very good though. It’s wired down the a pillar
