Barn door OEM reverse camera options

[MrAPC]

Just gathering ideas on making the Alpine HCE-C2100RD camera fit in as much of OEM looking fashion to my T6 Barn door.

Anyone done anything similar with a OEM mount and maybe the use of Van-X's rear plinth

I used this, although it was only around £20 last year with a £6 adapter form eBay straight into my std VW screen. Coded using carista. Works exactly as std VW with optional lines and overlay.

did you finish the fit. Just bought the HCE-C2100RD but thinking of mounting it on the barn door spoiler so i have a view when the tow bar bike rack is on. Camera works out the box with the Halo 11 but resolution a bit underwhelming

I did , used a OEM mount, Dremel some of the plastic on the inside so the camera fits in, hot glue around the sides (didn't want a permanent hold just incase of future repairs) .

I did use a Vanx rear number plate surround which isn't needed and you could do it to your original

tidy job. How do rate the resolution of the camera. I was expecting something a little sharper but it was a quick look and the resolution of my halo 11 is 720p and not 1080p

discovered i can run the cable along the same path as the high level break lights but might need to dremel the brake light unit for the cable

Has anyone tried putting the camera into the VW symbol on the right barn door?
My van's converted and I don't know if I can run anything down the left side. Thx
