    Hi Ed,

    Thanks for the reply. I need a Brother-In-Law installed Crewe isn't all that close to us (by UK standards) but do let me know if you come to Crewe and we'll see if we can hook up. All the best, Keith

    Hi Keith, I’m lucky that my brother in law has done a few and was able to do the hard stuff. Best of luck on it. I see youare located in the Midlands. I do some consulting with Bentley Motors and visit Crewe frequently. If that’s close to you,I’ll let you know when I’m coming...my treat!
    Cheers, Ed

    My skills are strictly limited (but at least I am aware of my limitations). I need to summon up the courage to have a go! I very much want to insatll a reversing camera as I have had them in my cars for a while now and have gotten used to them. I dislike backing up without the extra reassurance the camera gives. If the worst comes to the worst, I will buy the kit and get it installed professionally next time my car is in for service (next spring probably). Thanks for your interest and the original posts which inspired me to get this done! All the best, Keith

    Hi there! Thanks for the follow-up. I haven't gone ahead with it (yet) but I have researched it thoroughly. I've found a good unit here in the UK - my worry at the moment is getting the wiring from the area above the numberplate to where the wireless transmitter will sit. I know how to wire the transmitter into the reverse light circuit, but then I have to get the wire from there, up through the tailgate and on to the camera above the rear number/license plate. I need to find out how to remove the tailgate trim so that I can feed the wire through the flexible connector (connecting the bodywork to the tailgate) and then on to the license plate.

    I wanted to see how you made out with the rear mirror/camera install. I really like mine!
