After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.

  • License plate reverse camera install

    Hey guys,

    I'm new to the scene and i recently bought a gtd 2011 model but it didn't have the emblem badge reverse camera.

    I bought it used and the seller had also given me a reverse camera kit. (which i think is like a $20 part from ebay). Here's a photo of what it looks like, i've been trying to wrap my head around it but i just need some help to get some things clear to install

    Here's a link to a picture of it.

    And the product itself on ebay.

    From what i searched on youtube, most rvc cameras didn't have the 2 wires coming out the back. I assume that the 2 wires coming out of this one are for video and powering the reverse lights. Also i'm not sure if there's a way to wire this in without taking off the bumper.

    I guess my questions are:
    - Should i be connecting both cables on that camera. (splice the license plate number with one for light)
    - Can i do this without taking the bumper off? (The seller told me that you could run it through the a drain hole from the boot to the bumper but i couldn't feel this at all.

    I've been searching youtube and forums everywhere for some examples but can't seem to find any.
