Old video but the best to actually help plan a camera installation. Thank you sir.

[@pd6569]

I just purchased a RV class c and it has a built in Pioneer backup, loaded camera with side view , phone radio, b.t. and everything else . My question is the only way to turn this off is with a killer switch that turns everything off in the RV. Why isn't there a on/off button . I don't want my battery to go dead so I always have to use this factory installed killer switch. thank you for any info. AVH-3400BH or AVH-2400BT

Any recommended suppliers in the UK of the tilt cameras, at a sensible price ?

Hi Dave, can you give me some details on the camera in your van?

[@edwardcharles9764]

If you mount the camera high you have to drill into the vehicle body. Doesnt that invalidate the water ingress warranty?

[@balder123e5]

The wiew is upside down bumper should be om top. And the brake light is going to interfere with the camera so you get blinded. The camera has to be under the brake light.

[@garysalt4372]

what make is the camera that rotates for reversing and rear view please?

[@martingladwell7970]

Can you tell me what radio unit you fit to Ducato with rear view, also can you listen to the radio whilst using the camera as a rear view mirror.

Hi Matey, Do you have any ideas why my VISION camera on my motorhome keeps fogging up everytime we go out ? Starts off ok but a mile up the road all I can see is foggy pic. Regards Duncan.

Reversing Camera - Have a Fiat Decato 2015 with screen in the entertainment system. Van didn’t come with a camera, dealer fitted one before delivery with rear view mirror monitor. It activates when you select reverse. I asked if we could have a switch to use it when going forward as a rear view camera, for idiots tail baiting etc. No response. Why the didn’t fit to display on built in system, if sunny often can’t see out rear view mirror. Can this be easily adapted to display on both monitors and have the option to view when going forward.

[@paulfletcher4331]

[@jessestrum]

[@MrPants1970]

What head unit do you have in your van and what connector do you put the camera into?

[@pahadiboy5035]

Sir how to shop this product in India

[@abvoyager333]

I have a camera which works when it wants to. By resetting the electronics panel under the seat I can sometimes make it work. Is there a relay that is not triggering properly and needs replacing? Thanks, Brian

[@timurbayram5162]

what about Chinese displays?

[@sandynewkirk9247]

What make my camera fog up?

[@sandynewkirk9247]

How do I fix it

[@skf957]

Sounds like water ingress. Not enough to damage the unit but just enough that when the unit warms slightly it condenses on the inside of the cooler outer clear lens shell. I have a similar issue on the "hours" meter of my ride-on lawn mower. It's fine when first switched on, but fogs up within a few minutes. Dry or damp day - makes no difference.

Hi comments section. Just wondering how most of you manage to wipe your bum after pooping since the stupid questions some of you ask are beyond me.
