Rear View camera
I'm thinking a fitting a rear-view camera to my 1999 Symphony. I'd value advice about:
1. Do Bluetooth systems work well?
2. Where to connect the power lead to ensure constant operation (rather than just having it as a reversing camera)?
3. Any other tips about which system to buy, and how to fit it.
Thanks
Martyn

When I fitted one to my old van I took a feed for the live of the number plate lights and then just drove with my side lights on all the time

Re: Rear View camera
I did the same as Freelander above, but wired to the rear tail light bulb so the camera worked whenever I needed it to :)

Re: Rear View camera
Thanks for this info.
Further question: Should I use 60degree or 120degree camera. I want to install the camera high, and use it as a rear-view camera as well as a reversing camera.

Re: Rear View camera
120degree gives more of a fish eye effect try and get a 90 degree if possible or twin camera like this
