I am looking to put in a backup camera in the rear wiper hole on my xb. I an want it to be able to work with the AVIC D1 from pioneer that I plan on getting. Can anyone suggest a good one and where to get one?

 

I use to have on in my box, but I have since changed my setup. I still have the camera, and would be willing to sell it for $150.

now that's how you fill a hole!!!

 

what kind of camera is it? does it have nightvision also?

 

Talk to Tango. She has it on her xB.

 

It is a PME Camera, it is intended to be a replacement for keyholes. Nightvision is great. It does get a bit fuzzy with a light directly on it.

so it is a color cam, how does it switch to nightvision?

 

many night vision camreas have a photocell that detect low light and kick on the nightvision.

 

wow, thats an awesome idea!!

i wish i didnt have to use my rear wiper so much

 

RainX on the back window. It works wonders.

 

hate to burst the bubble, but those keyhole cameras sell upwards of $30 to under $90 at best...

they work great though!

 

The cameras you are talking about are for a CMOS camera. There are also CCD cameras that are much higher quality and go for about 120-150

I have a CMOS one in my box hooked to my PC. It works great. This is where I got it.

The other thing you need to think about is the camera needs to reverse the image so it works like a real mirror or you will find it hard to use.

There are pics of mine in my sig if you are interested.

 

that's the same camera that I'm getting, DJ Sparky, and DaToaster is getting if I'm not mistaken. how do you like it at night? do it work well?

 

Yep, that's the same camera, mine should be here today or tomorrow, I can't wait.

 

hmmmm, I want a camera for my TC. I wonder if I could get that to work....

 

That's where I mounted the nozzle to my oil-slick dispenser.

 

LOL, yeah, between the oil-slick & the smokescreen

 

It works pretty well. You get that greenish tint during the night vision so you feel like you are in the military or something. You will like it I am sure!!

 

sweet!

 

Great, thanks for the info.
