Reverse Camera Mount

[Gareth1]

Hi
Does anybody have any photos of their reverse camera installed on their T6? I have a T6 and would rather not cut the vehicle to install. Looking for a decent number plate light mounted one. Any pics / specs appreciated

Tailgate or barn doors?

Tailgate sorry. I should have said

You at least have to drill holes for cables, even if you had a number plate mounting one. I'd cut a bigger hole, and go to the effort and fit an OEM. Available from the Forum shop.

The OEM head unit also seems to do some video processsing on the OEM camera. The OEM camera has a fish eye lens, and gives a fish eye output. The OEM head unit flattens this. Not sure how a 3rd party camera with a regular lens would look on the OEM display.

Thanks. I have a Pioneer head unit so an aftermarket one is an option. Didn't really want to cut the the tailgate however it my be the only option available. I'll take a look at the Forum shop for options. Thanks

Aren’t there cameras available now that are built in to the third brake light?

EDIT: thought as much. No drilling -

Thanks. Yeah I've seen that type. I was after something a little more discreet that fitted above the number plate to be honest. Maybe one that fitted the number plate inset light of a T6. Looks like some minor modifications to the boot to allow it though.

sorry for late answer...you made a great job...WOW. The camera fit perfect in your T6. Great job mate. The camera that the dealer installed on my T6 multivan is Keenvod, I am not satysy for the result!!!
According with your instruction, they did not plugged the wire for the static lines, moreover from the aesthetic point of view, the result is horrible.
look here.

thank you for the support...and if you have any ideas how I can fix this please let me know.

thank you and best regards
