Rear view camera
Is it possible to fit a rear view parking camera that will link into the nav screen.

I have no access to any special equipment. I was thinking of getting it fitted by a specialist.

You could fit a gvif unit or a D4 screen both will let you have a camera installed with the d4 screen you will need a IId tool to edit ccf with the gvif you won't i also believe there is a ccf edit with original screen to get the screen up on original D3 nav screen now Discovery 3 se gone

The ccf edit on original screen
Is that the RR mod or something new ?
The RR mod is a very budget version.
You don’t get a full picture
You need a gap iid to ccf edit
The display interface is a bit flakey in RR mode

As i saw both options.. i opted for a D4 screen, with a more or less "standard" licence plate light camera (although i bought a higher resolution than "standard").
-D4 screens can be bought rather cheap (paid 80 quid)
-rather easy install (how to is here on the forum, look for user "flack") i might say, i did it in an hour i think. camera wire through the rear door and interiour is a little bit more work, but needed for both alternatives
-simple CFF edit (IID)
-works as it should.... (no extra button pushes needed, just in reverse gear and it works as it should)
looks and works as a factory option then..Best regards

To the two last posters.... reading is not your strongest points i see...for the both of you....
@peter K, i wrote The d4 screen AND that the camera is more work...
There are 2 how to’s here, it is pretty straight forward if you read them both a few times can be half an hour longer, but not much more.... i have in mind, anyway taking/pulling the 3 pins out the big connecter So they could be re used in the new d4 connector took the most Of my time.. pfff
A day before i did a lot of plastic saw things with a dremel on the D3, as i had to convert it to a commercial version, so was very handy and quick with that part...
@mick-3n. They covered the RR mod allready as A rather “budget version” and were talking about a possible other mod...With full D3 function.. Best regards

Can't get more of a full D3 function than a D3 screen that does everything, actually more, you get all radio and phone functions on main screen

When I fitted the D4 screen, cutting the rear plastic out took the time.
It was catching on something but took a while to work out what

Yeah, you need to remove a fair bit, so the connectors and cables have their space... that is a bigger Catch than the metal/screen itself...Best regards

Thanks for all the replys,it seems to be a lot more involved than I thought and very technical.
I think I will just stick with the standard reversing sensors.

Hi Mick_n3, did your mod include any brightness control or does it not suffer?
I am looking to put in a camera and am wondering which is best way to go with screens:
- cheap RR mod...if brightness is ok
- more expensive D4 screen
