Reversing camera

Postby eddie753 » Wed Sep 02, 2026 10:14 pm

Hi All. I have a 2009 Mk7 2.2 TDCI 115 T280 van and I am looking for some recommendations for a reversing camera/monitor set up before I hit something! The Bluetooth versions are of interest due to no hard wiring except perhaps from the camera to the reverse lamp bulb +ve. Anyone have one of these DIY fitted? Looking forward to your comments. Many thanks in advance.

Autovox wireless is fitted to my campervan, took a while to hide the wires behind the panelling and keep the transmitter out in the open. Monitor was initially on the screen next to the mirror but I moved it onto the headliner above the mirror. It does get interference when a camera/transmitter on a similar frequency is nearby, usually on the motorway when we se the inside of a horsebox suddenly on the screen but we've never had interference when it mattered.

I fitted a 2 camera dashcam to mine (one that clips over the rear view mirror). There is a single wire that goes to the rear camera but it was not too difficult to route this. I keep the mirror monitor on rear view. It also means that the view I see when driving is much better than the mirror used to be as it only showed one of the rear windows at great distance. Now it's like the whole rear window is just there... plus I can record the idiots on the road 8)

Just a thought.
