1998 XJR - Reversing Camera

Postby jec389 » Thu Jan 28, 2021 5:32 pm

Has anybody every fitted a wireless reversing camera?
My other cars have cameras and you get use to using them all the time so I bought a popular bolt-on unit. Wireless so no cables up to the dash.
Electrical power from towing connector in boot fuse box gives reversing power and dash is a standalone screen. Image quality is very good.
But:
The camera fitting is a "normal" adhesive mounting frame that sticks to the back of the rear number plate - which is firmly stuck down - no screws.

Anybody found a good fitting option or used another camera mounting system ?

Thanks.

Watch out for the fitting of a reversing camera to the XK8 in the March 2021 Modern XK column for an alternative - provided it makes it past the Editor and space constraints. Once published, there will be a photo instruction manual available for anyone who wants to follow the guidance and install a similar device.

Good timing eh... :D
It's been staring over shoulder since 1998 so another few months doesn't matter :)
