    rear view camera

    Hey so is it true the Japan VX's come with a camera installed stock?

    I sure would love to be able to see out the back, Is there some kit, OEM or something I can get or is it just a custom job for us Americans?

    This is the camera I have, nothing wrong with it, still in the box! Had it out once to make sure it worked and it worked great, just haven't had the chance to mess around with it and get it installed. Check old forums for reverse camera and you should be able to find a pic of it....This is an aftermarket camera!

    Just got the mirror/camera kit in from Gadget and WHAT A DEAL! Way nice kit with a lot of thought to detail. Camera is designed to go inside the vehicle with an ingenious, adjustable mount. Integrated TV tuner, remote control, antenna, cell phone stereo mute and far better looking than ANY of the mirror screens we saw at SEMA. Too bad there aren't any more left....

    SALE: At Frys there is a 7" Clarion touch screen, DVD, CD, MP3, Sirius ready indash video system for $999. Remanufactured unit but has a one year warranty - normally $1699 most places. 6 left here in Austin - hollar if anyone wants one and I'll pick it up for them.
    Ask forgiveness, not permission.

    I wonder if this is the same thing as that, or a rip-off:

    I was thinking real world implementation, not an ad.

    Hey Capri,

    I would say screw the clip-on mirror, pull out the TFT and use the kit in the fuzzy hole. It's difficult to determine the quality of something like that without experiencing it first hand. I think that's why so many have been reluctant to go that route - everyone's waiting for the first person to jump in!

    I think I will just roll down the window and yell out "hey, I am backing out and I can't see a dam* thing, good luck"

    That is a different kit but similar - Lisa’s has the built in tv tuner. Most all of the mirrors out there attach to the stock mirror so it is easier for most people to install. Both cameras are too big to install in the rear crescent though.

    I’ll post pics when I install Lisa’s tonite but it really does look just like the picture. I wish more people would take the chance and try these things out - buy from a company that will let you return it if you don’t like it.

    I also got in the Laser-blinder and HID upgrade kits and will be installing and testing those units over the weekend.
