    Reversing camera on 2013 110 question

    I managed to buy a reverse camera kit with Sony heavy duty camera and I have a couple of questions about wiring access.

    I will place the 4.3" screen on top of dash in the middle area.
    I need to find out how to get the screen av and power cables down and behind dash ie between windscreen and dash. The camera will be powered buy reverse light and screen by ACC, I will connect to cigarette lighter wiring.

    Anyone attempted to run wiring behind dash before, I just need to find the correct way before I break anything.

    Any help from past experience will be appreciated

    Cheers

    The area between the just below the windscreen is very crowded with air ducts bit you may get down between these. Below are a few pics from our earlier Puma Project, half way down the first page, shows space with the dash removed, but there may be some other items already removed as well.

    Puma cable routing

    G day Sozos
    I fitted a stereo head unit with twin usb connection at the back. Even with the head unit removed it was very difficult to run cables directly up behind the dash.
    I ended up running them to the left & through a small hole under the (glove box lid that isn't) then along the seal area between the windscreen & the dash. One usb cable runs power for my sat nav & the other stayed at the glove box area for the I Pod connection. This was the neatest way I could easily do this & the cables cannot be seen from the cab. I hate using the accessory socket as the cables always seem to get in the way. Good luck.
    Regards Chris.

    Just a suggestion if you have the Alpine flip out screen which alot of the new 110's seem to have, to run the camera through that.

    I was going to buy a similar setup to you but the installer suggested to just buy a flip out screen stereo deck and buy a camera and run it through that. All the wiring just works through the head unit.

    Not much help I guess.

    Well, I went thru the same discussion with different installers and one suggested the flip out screen with camera, $1000 installed. This wasn't going to happen. I bought a 4.3"" screen with Sony CCD heavy duty camera for $44 delivered to my door, includes guidelines too.

    I spent 3 hours today with my good neighbor and success. See photos below.

    You can't argue the price saving for sure. There are much cheaper flip out screens that still work well like the phillips but they still wont compare to that price saving. I was going to replace my head unit eventually anyway so just took the plunge and did it all in one.

    Head units are nice but I spent enough on the vehicle and recovery gear. My next project is to get sound and heat proofing once I seal the car for water and dust first.

    I am just getting to know the car a bit more intimately now and feel more confident working on it.

    BTW the Clarion VZ402A with camera was the unit I was quoted for at $1000, he was basically charging $500 labour...rip off.

    Cheers
