Team-BHP - The reversing camera & parking sensor thread

The issue is that the screen is loosely fitted. Put in some padding material first like folded newspaper between the original IRVM and the clamped one. Once satisfied you can use a double sided tape as padded material.

I have this reverse camera + LCD fitted in my car. The LCD is clamped on to the rear view mirror. It all works fine, but the only issue is the LCD/RVM shakes a lot when I'm driving because it's heavier now... Anyone face this issue? Any ideas how to fix it?

Though this is well discussed in this thread, I have few queries:
1. Can a reverse sensor have its own switch and not tied to reverse gear?

Its possible but then you have to switch off and ON manually before and after reversing, whats the point.

2. Does front sensors help?

If you are not confident about your front judgement but can be a pain in heavy neck-to-neck traffic.

3. Are just reverse sensors adequate or is reverse camera required?

Sensors give you a sound whose intensity increases as the object closes, camera gives you a picture of the object but then you have to make the distance judgement yourself. Both have pros/ cons.

4. Any recommended place in Bangalore to get installed?

Goto any good accessories shop and chek the features before installing, if your car is under warranty then best to get it from your dealer.

Hope to get replies.
Thanks.

ok guys.. the sensors on my innova seem to have konked. thinking of getting a reversing camera with sensors now. what i want to know is there any reversing camera with a screen which we can attach to the dash like the reversing sensor lcd is attached now?

msdivy why are the sensors so costly,got reverse sensors(4) fitted in my aunt's car and they cost Rs 2400/- with one year warranty and the brand is Xenos.

RedSoul have 2 models LED Display range - both display distance in numerals, with an option to control volume of the beep:
1. Single color LED- 3K
2. Multi color LED - 4K

Can anyone post a pic of Reverse camera while taking reverse. I would like to know the coverage of camera. I plan to go for the reverse camera/sensor for swift as the car as to be reversed between two pillars where the gap is very tight. I would like to know which of the two will be best suited for this condition. One problem here is the ORVM cannot be used and it has to be closed while reversing.

Let me know the disadvantages of reverse camera both in day & night.

However I think, with my experience, that if you have to reverse the car between two pillars, then the cam would not be of that much of an use. I mean if thats your basic purpose.

The cam is very useful in situations when you cant see behind in the inside RVM. For looking at the corners of the car, using the cam, you would be able to make an idea when the car is far from the objects (in this case, the pillars). But as and when the car comes near you would have to take help of the outside LRVM and the right RVM. I mean, that the reverse cam is not ideally suited for the judging the corners (of the bumpers), but of great use for having an idea, of whats immediately behind (the camera) which is generally fitted in the center of the bumper.

Maybe if you just have to judge the corners, you could think of installing Sensors along with a camera. The RD brand that I bought offers this combination too.
1 screen, 1 Cam and 4 sensors. This even comes with a 1 year warranty.
The sensors can be mounted wherever you want them and the cam would be ideal when mounted in the center of the bumper.

Thanks for the pic & suggestion. I already have sensors in SX4, this time I thought of going for camera for the swift, however the camera does not make sense for this purpose. I would go for the parking sensor itself.

Talking about a price then i have installed it in Rs. 3200 only.
You have a question about colour of the sensors. then i was promised by my dealer that he will order sensors with white colour as it my cars body colour but he failed to get one. But we rectified the problem by painting it with white colour, it looks fine then.
Cheers,
Abhi.

Hi Abhi, which one did you get? 4 rear sensors + color display?
Where in mumbai did you get it done from? can you please give me contact details?

thanks! I've been looking for something like this for months!

Bumping up this thread.
I was looking at options in market, cost is around 4000rs which includes the camera and lcd screen.
If I have the camera, any idea how much would a 4" LCD screen cost. I want something which can be attached to RVM.
Any ideas?
In the EX will tapping into reverse light for power hinder warranty etc., I want an installation which has nil cutting of wires and uses existing wiring harness. The EX remote system apparently has a reverse sensor(is it true) and since it comes with extra wiring harness, any chance of tapping that?
