        Where does the camera plug in? The spare port on the HMI module?

          Jem did the same as me and used the Xcarlink video interface.



          It's really easy to do, just mount the camera, run the cables to the glove box area, mount the interface and connect the cables. The unit comes with cables that loop into the screen video cables and control it when reverse is selected.



          Total cost of mine was about ?180. No VX parts used and no VCI code needed.

            Thanks for that. What type of camera did they use and could you do me a list of parts I need to fit the system just so I don't miss anything out?



            Also would it void my warranty if I fitted it?

                Hi thanks for the reply mine is the r700 system with the boss speakers. That would still be possible to fit it?



                Jem how long did it take you to complete this?

                  It was about two days in total but that was because I put all the wires into the factory loom apart from some and used cloth wrap on the loom so it looks like factory job

                  And also used euro seal connectors??to join the wires

                    Here is the video interface: http://www.xcarlink....9&cat=41&page=1 Have a look on Ebay though as I got mine from their Ebay shop for ?150!



                    This is the camera I used: http://www.amazon.co...ailpage_o02_s00 Really small and neat, and only needed a single hole to mount it so no need to take the bumper off

                      Ok cool thanks for that. Did you put it under the boot handle or was it near the number plate lights?



                      I asked vauxhall if it was possible to do this and they said no.

                          Your such a great help thanks. Did it bring up any electrical problems with the audio system?



                          So all I need it that camera and the r700 interface then just the wiring in part to do and that's it. The lines on your display does that cone up automatically when you select reverse and is that already programmed into the system?

                              This is the Ebay seller but they don't have any listed at the moment: http://www.ebay.co.u...872.m2749.l2754



                              Looks like all the cheap ones are gone
