Damn, thats a nice system!
I like the idea of both front and rear cameras.

Its a 10.2" widescreen LCD for less than $100 shipped from here: http://www.cars-electronics.com/102-...put_p1401.html
Tied to a dealextreme CCD reverse camera on my numberplate mount.

The screen is designed to fit over the rearview mirror but I didn't like that idea. So I made up a little bracket to bolt onto the interior windscreen tie down bracket (I assume thats what its for) so there is no altering the interior trims. The screen has 4 RCA video inputs and can display up to 3 feeds at once. I like the 2 feed side-by-side view which gives two large (6.1" approx) undistorted pictures. At the moment I've just got one camera but I plan to mount at least one at the front, maybe two for spotting.

I'm very happy with the install, its very clean and fits snuggly in the gap between visors blocking the sun above rearview mirror. Its almost invisible from outside the car and doesn't interfere with removal of freedom panels.

I've also upgraded the headlights this week from stock to Britax reflectors with Narva plus 120 globes - BLOODY BRILLIANT!! So much better, brighter and more defined lighting.

Is this connected to reverse or on full time? Looks great.

It's on full time but it has a wire that connects to reverse that will turn the unit on or swith it to the required av channel when reverse is selected. I love it being on full time as it gives much better rear view, especially at night with a good ccd camera. Basically you can choose how you want it to operate.

Thanks for the info.

Nice work!
I've got a single screen going in for much the same purpose, just working on camera disconnects as they mount on the spare/plate holder.

My camera came with 2x RCA connectors, one for video one for power. These sit in behind the spare wheel for a quick easy disconnect. I've put a few wraps of electrical tape over them just to keep the weather out....
