    Does D3-4 have RF reversing cameras.

    I was driving along the M1 today near Burleigh and a bit back from a cD3 -4.
    I have a cheap o RF reversing camera and my monitor turned on and showed my car.
    This was as I was driving at 100kmh.
    I have my receiver turned on with the ignition.

    I am a bit intrigued that first his reversing camera was on at 100kmh and second it seemed to be RF not hard wired.
    regards Philip A

    You could see yourself on your own monitor? As in, the image was coming from another vehicle? The factory reverse camera in mine (MY14) is definitely hardwired and always on.

    He probably has the same el cheapo RF reversing camera as you, transmitting on same frequency. Camera operating continuously because it draws power from somewhere other than the reverse lights circuit.

    De facto rear view mirror for him, maybe.

    I later thought of an explanation that he may have an RF camera on the car nd one for a caravan. The transmitter was powerful, as I had a perfect picture of my car.
