Would one of you kind fellows give me a flyby item number or link of a replacement rear view camera?
I've read the WIKI on the FFRR MY2006 rear cam repair and the link to the £13 camera has obviously ended and I'm not so sure about which one to choose? some now look angled which won't work!!

Ive purchased this one, I'll keep you posted with the results

eBay item number:252071240797

yes please do as mine need changing it works fine but the picture is upside down

When i put my range rover in reverse the screen is black ? ...Does the camera you guy's are talking about fit into the standard casing ? . What is the item number as the one above has finished ?..

I bought one the same as item eBay Item No. 141918317810 and the end part unscrews allowing the metal ring to be removed.

I then used small snips and a file until all of the lip was removed meaning the camera was the same diameter all the way along. This then fits perfectly into the housing.

The wiring requires a bit of soldering. The red and black wires on the original loom are positive and negative and the other is the video coax. If you snip it close to the original plug that goes into the old camera pub then you can solder it to the wires supplied in the kit. Use a multimeter to determine the centre wire on the original plug and solder that to the centre wire on the yellow plug the remaining one is the negative for the yellow plug.

Before assembling the camera, test it and make sure the camera is orientated in the holder correctly i.e the picture is not upside down then put everything back together. I chose not to seal the camera holder up but ended up with condensation in the holder.

I'm also not happy with the guide lines as they look funny when you put it in reverse as the picture is zommed when you stick it in reverse which looks funny. Mine is also pointing too much downwards so I have bought a new camera without the guidelines and I'll be taking it apart in the next few weeks again.

I can take loads of photos when I do it if this helps.

Please do, specially photo's of the soldered wires, then I will have another go, fingers crossed and thanks in advance!!

How did you go about the co-ax cable ?..

Hi Guys,

I bought one and its got the extra (short) red wire going into each end. What do you do with that?

I'm working offshore for another week but if you take a photo of the stripped wires on the original loom, I can mark them up for you.
