Reversing Camera

I've bought a Pioneer SPH DA-120 for my E90 and would love to fit a reversing camera with it.

Has anyone used a good brand of reversing camera they could recommend?

Also i was looking to get somewhere to fit the whole lot; is there anyone in Dublin that would do a good tidy job of that?

I'm very fussy about interiors and it would absolutely wreck my head if anything was fitted great and looked out of place

Thanks

Dillon

Try mick in germaniks :wink:

This is the crowd I got mine from (except mine incorporated the handle)
IIRC the quality of the handle rubber wasn't as good as the original so I'd probably go with this one instead

Because they are
One, the one replacing one of the 2 reg light has a different color compared to your other reg light. That will look cheap.

Two, resolution is crap, parking at night is a challenge.

Three, sensitivity very poor, can't see anything with the sun on the back.

The one integrating into the boot handle are the same poor quality, even when sold at 100 GBP+ from Connect2.

Get a Pioneer BC8, you won't be disappointed. Much higher quality.

Actual BC8 camera on my car and customers cars, see the dark pictures? That's night time. Even the OEM camera is not as good compared to that BC8.
