HEY! I found my old RVC/Screen thread.

I will be doing this, this weekend (as long as the parts get in in time.

it will be a custom mounted (rear-view mirror replacement) 7" MonkeyVideo screen (Mucho Gracias violent b) & a 90 deg 0-LUX Reversed Camera from eBay seller kawamall.

I'll post pics when it's done (& I get a chance)

 

the screen is here at my house. I think we can do the work at the house, I'll just bring the tools home. maybe after we can swing by the shop and you can see the new project I'm working on.

 

that sounds sweet, plus your house is closer for me, just email me a time.

I can't wait, as you can see it's been 2 years in the making.

 

here's a picture of one in the wiper hole:

 

Thanks for the pics, but I like having the wiper, so it can't go there

 

You could always use Rain-X so the water just falls off

 

...leaving the dirt behind. I'm keeping the wiper.

 

come on Dave, live a little.

 

I do, during the hour & a half ride to work every day, & then again on the hour ride home.

 

Is this what everyones talking about?

(rearview monitor)

(camera)

 

Pretty much, but it'll be a 7" screen (no mirror) & the cam will be mounted in the 3rd brake light

 

yeah, everyone's doin' it

How much was the camera DJ?

 

Yeah, that's also kinda why I want to keep it.

it was $56 shipped from eBay seller Kawamall

 

If your intentions are keeping the read wiper, you can always do what this one guy did here in Phoenix. On the bottom left of the rear bumper, you have the cover for the tow hook. That little cover pops out with quite a bit of force, so a small camera will hold nice within there. If you get a wide angle or fish eye in there, you would be well off. It is actually a clean install and easy to replace, just pop a new cover in there if you ever need to. I'll try and find some pics.

 

^^^^^^I also think this is a good idea because having a lowered box, I always worry about hitting curbs and small children and midgets and whatnot, so a lower sitting camera will give a better view nearest the ground. Just my .02

 

I was looking around and found this alternative to widening your wiper hold as most have had to do to get the camera installed.



I think is said it was like 375 or so. still lookin.

 

Here is another link to a license plate mount.

Here is a current ebay auction that is going on. I think this one looks clean as hell. Very nice looking frame.
