rtbrjason Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 ^ That looks like you can actually see the top of the rear bumper, no? Indeed you can. The very center of the bumper is not so visible but with the way the camera captures you can see the rest of the bumper on either side curving out.

nia Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 No Wagon mounts at all? I'm going to put one on mine as part of a CarPC project (no original Nav in mine), so I would be very interested in mounting types and places. It will have to be an IR-type camera, and i would prefer colour and as wide angled as possible, but haven' settled on a specific model yet, not least because of the fact that I don't know exactly where to mount it for best results, ease of cabling etc. My first thoughts was actually to have a hole-mounted one in the rear bumper and take the reverse signal from the caravan power-connector. But it seems that all the sedan mounts here is on the boot lid. Any particular reason for that type of mount except for the option to have the bumper in view (which is a pretty good reason in itself)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Has anyone tried using the 08/9 Tribeca OEM camera? It looks pretty small and clean.

Deadzep Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The picture quality isn't as good as I was hoping. This is the crimestopper one. Installing this in the middle was a pain and would have been impossible had I not known a guy that works in a body shop. It looked (felt) like there was a hole about the right size off to the edge of that lip, but I didn't notice that until after I'd started drilling. Then I realized once you get through the plastic piece, there's metal to drill through. Yeah, I know, I'm a little on the slow side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Looks pretty good. I wonder how difficult it would be to use the camera from an Acura RX330. I was behind one last night and could BARELY notice that it had a rear view camera.

spolkyc Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Has any one tried to use a tribeca OEM camera? Also the 2010 is listed to have a backup camera, I wonder if it would fit nicely on older models... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonardo Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Specs please! You covered the tag light? Yours is the first I see with the parking guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The camera has a tag light built into it, so that functionality is retained. The light is wired into the tail lights, like the stock one was. The camera turns on in Reverse, and is pretty instant. It's a generic ebay camera. The lines are mostly accurate, the red line is 18" projected on the ground So if you line the red up to the base of a wall or something behind you, it'll put the bumper about 18" away from the object. I've had it installed with the OE nav in my 5MT wagon for more than a year now, without a single problem.

ssbtech Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 BAC, any shots of the light it projects onto the licence plate at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterPeon Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm running a licence plate frame backup camera with a rearview mirror display. http://i41.tinypic.com/10dgwnp.jpg The placement of the cables could have been better. http://i40.tinypic.com/33nyvef.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/15n0v9k.jpg The image quality of the camera and the display is quite high. I was pretty impressed with how clear it was. The sensitivity of the sensor at night also blew me away. Even when parking in a dim street with the streetlights covered by trees, the image is bright and defined. No need for any other lights in the back at all.

Leonardo Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Cool! Brands? The mirror I might have to get one with auto dimming and home link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterPeon Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Both the mirror and the camera frame are from Boyo. I'm not sure about what kind of reputation the brand has. From my research, the general internet consensus is "not bad." They cost about half as much as Gentex products. I got a 4 year warranty for $10. If it breaks, it will be somebody else's problem.
