My new mate Seamus.

Hey guys, thought i would start a thread for me mate Seamus ( a 2008 GU) who I recently drove down from QLD from 2trolfam.

Probably going to start off slow as I have a bit to put on and don't know exactly where to start lol. And I will probably need a hand as he is my first GU.

Though first thing I was thinking to help the Mrs with here already "questionable" reversing abilities, I was thinking a reverse camera keep her happy before I put the good stuff on now the plan was to either mount to the roof racks, or make a work light off the spare tyre mounted attach to that, (Would love some help deciding on that one).
Also would be what kind of camera and display for it... Any1 have an idea of price of one that replaces the rear view mirror? Or a way to have it connect to a tablet and activate in reverse?? (Was just an idea that I might be able to do that at the same time )


I will post some pics when I get some kind of progress happening.

Thx all in advance.

If you have the STD head unit [radio] is it reverse camera capatible?
Most hear have swapped out the OE head unit for a bluetooth, GPS, reverse camera ready job.
Ive just fitted a rear camera and TBH I dont use it just a PITA, not to say I wont use it.
There is a heap of threads on this subject Ill try and find it for you.
I have a brand new reverse mirror one here if you want to try first.
Ill never use it plus heaps of spare cameras for you to mix and match

Seamus has a basic Kenwood Bluetooth/CD head unit which I doubt is compatible for a reverse camera

Reverse mirror ones I've seen mixed reviews on after market ones and the one Brad put in Amelia when he built her canopy was a piece of c$#€

More light back there would be helpful and was always a one day thing - some the boys here have some terrific setups for rear light bars


ETA : do both

Congrats on the new trol again mate ! You'll definitely have to swing by for a beer since you stroll through these lands daily!
Sorry can't help with the camera. I used to own a 2009 CRD Wagon, so I can help with some 3L pointers though...

Nice buy mate. I have a reverse camera that I fitted. It has a clip over teplacement mirror and the vid screen is embedded into about half of it. Works a treat.

My daily is a new Hyundai Santafe and it has a massive screen for the reverse camera, always though the one in the GAu was great but after driving the Hyundai for a while it's pitiful by comparison. On its own though it's a bloody winner mate. Works a treat.

Reverse cameras are one of those things that you cant do without, once you've had one. Put the camera up under barn door handle. Which is where mine used to be. But with the jerry holders they block it. So, mine will be going on the roof rack. I've got a pioneer double din head unit. Nice clean buy, BTW.

Thx. Ye that would actually be really awesome. Ye I did t really want to fork out the money for a whole new head unit lol.

And I think the replacement for the rear view will keep the Mrs happy lol.

Means I might need to buy a welder to make the work light frame

Cheers mate. Ye I feel I need to take some of the guess work out of those tight parking spots. Now that it's a bit nicer, do t want many car park war marks lol
