Hey arrowaby, thanks for the suggestion, but I really wanted something "stock" or as close to it fitted. I could go in for a media overhaul which would even have my steering controls integrated, but paying 30+ overall doesn't seem feasible right now. Like you said, "it's only bluetooth" and that's why making relatively small hardware changes from the service center made sense. Quote:

For a hatchback- this sensor works pretty cool. I personally do not see any reason why you should go for a camera for a car that is not long. |
I've seen your sensor installed in a friend's car & it works great on his City. But, I'm a bit of a tech-freak & really loved the subtle integration of the cam display in the verna. Personally, I've found no matter the size of the car, a reverse cam is of use whenever there're 2-wheelers parked behind you as it's difficult to judge them, especially when there's not much space in front of you to maneuver around.
The hunt still goes on! I've been trying to get in contact with other service centers. I may just get fed up & buy the OEM parts & get them fitted elsewhere, especially the reverse camera. My current thinking is that people are easily able to fit other such units on cars outside the dealers, so this shouldn't be an exception. Unless, of course, there's some ECU crap I'm not anticipating. Thinking I'll just book my next service & talk this out face to face!
The bluetooth fitment seems to be an uphill battle, as that'll most definitely involve redoing the steering wheel, HU & MID
Wildon, could really use your expertise over here!
