Send me a PM with your paypal. As I am new to the forum I'm not sure how buying or selling operates on here,
I apologise if we are breaking any rules.

 

[DJ Wozza]

Actually I have changed my mind, sorry to have messed you about, I have just bought a brand new PYLE one
listed above by Dinoc from the USA. From the seller at the top of the list, including shipping I paid TOTAL $29.94
This turns out to be less than £19 and a better deal I don't think can be had anywhere!!

[rust]

just wondering which is the best kit to go for at the moment ? wanna get this installed this week as im off work so get some work done on the cars..

 

[shab_the_man]

Are you talking about Camera? If so Ebay seems a good place to go, get a night mode camera too with lanes printed on the display image

 

[rust]

yup i do mean the camera, anyone give me a heads up one one thats good on ebay ?

 

[Chriseybaby]

I got the pyle one linked in post #93 and its great.

 

[rust]

rite just ordered it from eBay.... Amazon was just too much money... half price on eBay but waiting time is like 7-14 days...

 

[rust]

anyone can share some light with me about the connector and bullets ect where to grab it... i know i can go maplins but kinda unsure on what bullet ends or pins i need... feeling super stupid here...

 

[Chriseybaby]

Are you talking about the connector that goes into the back of the DVD drive or where to feed the power for the camera from?

 

[rust]

yeah to the back of the DVD unit ... got my camera today i wanna install it asap...

 

[Chriseybaby]

Did you buy a cable to convert the phono or do you plan to make your own?

I just bought this one for £12.99

hey guys got the cam installed... its easier than i thought... took me around 1.5hrs to install all cables and make up the lead... hard part was to shave some of the plastic trim surrounding but the dremel tool i had worked like a treat.

Do you have a 7th gen pre facelift?

 

[rust]

Do you have a 7th gen pre facelift?

nope i got a face lift 2007 model with sat nav... is it different for the facelift model ?

 

[F6HAD]

If this works on the non voice activated satnav then I might be able to make it work on my wife's FRV that has factory Nav..

Can anyone confirm?

 

[shab_the_man]

What year is the frv fahad, also do you know if it has a facelift dvd player?

Just take a pic of the back of the unit

 

[Yasmin]

Is there a kit available for pre face lifted accords?

If so, how idiot proof is the installation (I'll be doing it myself!)

Thx.

 

[F6HAD]

It's a 2005 Shab which has the same setup as the pre facelift accord

 

[shab_the_man]

It's a 2005 Shab which has the same setup as the pre facelift accord

It wont work then. I spoke with that contact you brought on here from London who said pre facelift dont have the input unless you get a secondary module

 

[Nasty1984]

I've got the rear view camera installed. Is it possible to install a front camera as well? Do i need a relay or what's the best option?

I'm able to make it done, but i'm not good in 'electrical knowledge'

 

[luke w]

So would this device from xcarlink not work on pre facelift Accords?

http://www.xcarlink.co.uk/product.php?productid=149&cat=3&page=1

 

[shab_the_man]

Yes it would

 

[luke w]

Cool, may invest in it soon then!

 

[FunkMasterJay]

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I have a 2003 Tourer and would like to fit a reversing camera. Some of the photos on this thread are no longer availavle.


Does anyone have detailed pics of how to route the cable from the tailgate into the cabin?

Cheers.

I've started to install a reverse camera on my tourer, following this document:

34687_7th_Gen_Honda_Accord_Tourer_Rear_Parking_Camera_Genuine_Honda.pdf

disassembling the plate holder

Finding the perfect position for the camera: for me it will be as close to the center, next to a plate light:

This required a small dremel cutting the plate light:

I reinforced everything with hot glue (it's easy to do and it's still reversible, with a heat gun can be removed)

Drilling a hole in the body under the plate holder, just under reversing light (which will be connected the power of the camera)

I treated the hole OWATROL immediately to prevent rusting

Camera cables...

And now a small camera very discrete

Overnight it remains to wire the power of the camera, and remove all trim up front to get the video cable to the rear-view mirror with LCD monitor ...

I have question about the camera power: how did you manage the connexion on the reversing light beam? I looked at mine, it really is not easy!

 

[IloveJapan]

next!

How to install the video cable ? like this!

I'm using a rear view mirror monitor. the power is connected to the ceiling lamp.
