so it seems there's no easy way to buy a plug and play reverse camera for the most system, I have read people stripping wires and it costing over 400 for a reverse camera. then you have to get it enabled on the system some how...

I don't have a dvd player or satnav installed either.

so it seems the most system is one of the worst to get add ons for.

so my idea is either:

get one of those camera connected to rear view mirror, it shows a video on the right of the mirror. pick them up for 50-100 however they seem to have wires everywhere.

<-- this sort of thing

or I have a 3gs in the draw at home and considered taking it apart and wondered if I could get a thin wire connecting the camera to the phone from the dash to the back window, or you cant use the camera via Bluetooth from my iphone 5 on an app called "camera for my ipod touch"



or does someone have an easy solution for me? (other than getting a whole new tocuchscreen or learn how to reverse)

this has been talked about alot and there isnt an easy solution..quite a few ranges with the touch screen nav which were built late 54 reg to around late 05 reg had no reverse camera so its only a comparative small amount of vehicles that suffer with this... ... - .- -.

My 54 plate 2005 touchescreen model (pre facelift) does not have a camera, but I have enabled the rear camera mode using the IID tool, all I need to do now is plug in a camera and split the power from the reverse lights.

I don't think it will be that major a job, just the hassle of taking the dash up and spoiler off. Tom

the camera would need to be plugged into the back of the monitor? and these IID tools cost another 300 I see

the list continues... why cant this technology be easy

Its not as simple as that.

You also need the front entertainment module updated to a later firmware.

I haven't got round to getting this done yet.
