guys, one update on the reverse camera thing.

enquired with a few shops in bangalore, the clip on mirror costs 6.3k and the total package with fitting charges comes to 9.5k, asked how much they are charging for the camera, all said that infrared camera module is not available standalone and fitting charges 1k, looks like cutting bumper to fit camera is a big task.. any pointers?

meanwhile searching on ebay i came across this mirror with built-in bluetooth and speakers, cost 6.5k. the ir camera costs 1.6k. seems like a good deal, with the bluetooth thing, visit this link:
eBay India: CAR FONE HANDSFREE BLUETOOTH 7"LCD TFT MIRROR (item 290189967962 end time 17-Dec-2007 09:54:57 IST)

i wonder if parking sensors would really be required once the camera is in place. checked a colleague's scorpio fitted with reverse guide that he got fitted in bangalore locally for 15k, very good view of things at the rear. as far as the front is concerned, safari drivers should not have trouble, view over the bonnet is pretty good seems to me.
