Thanks for the wiring diagram SteMY06HSE. Managed to confirm that the feed & coax work ok after using another camera (12V security camera, would you believe).

Good to hear Highroller, was back in the UK last weekend so picked up a new camera from my local LR dealer. Less than half of what they cost here in the Middle East.

Hi STU TDV8. Just waiting for the camera to turn up. Hopefully I can then add some photos & further info of how it's gone.

There was some talk of a retro 2010 upgrade for 2006-2009 cars with some minor wiring changes and the camera housing needing a small alteration. I can't recall who did it but it was done.

Hi Folks, Hopefully I'll be able to update next week. Just received a small el-cheapo one from Hong Kong, just to confirm that all the connections worked & it showed a picture, which it did.

OK Folks. Camera all working & here's how I did it. This camera replace the original one & keeps it all looking original.
2. This is what you get in the complete package. 3. These are only the items that you require. 4. You need to release the new camera from it's housing, this is done by unscrewing the four screws, which allow the camering to pivot. 5. You then need to unscrew the other four screws on the back of the housing. This allows access to the clear plastic cover. Carefully cut around this cover to release it ( It's on lightly sealed ). Once removed, you have access to the two screws retaining the camera. 6. You will need to snip all four wires to enable the housing to be released. Be careful, as the wire are only lightly soldered on to the circuit board. Now place the new camera into the original camera housing, It's a near identical size, so no need for any modification. Feed the wiring through the the rear half of the original housing, making sure that you also include the tailgate grommet ensuring that it's the correct way up. 7. once you have soldered all the wires together, I connected it up the cars wiring to confirm that I had a picture & the correct orientation. This is crucial as the next step is to add clear silicone sealer to the back of the circuit board & close the the housing. 8. This is how it should look ready to be feed into the spoiler. A couple of notes here:- I left the sealer to harden off over night. You also need to remove the high level brake light & feed the wires through the housing & spoiler prior to refixing the camera retaining bracket. This is how it looks once installed & connected. 9. The final shot shows the screen. I realised that it's a little blurred, but this down to a smeary outer lens (much better when cleaned!). How this helps. |

These are the dimensions of the original camera, as mentioned the replacement camera dimensions are very similar how this helps.
