Same. Got one "everyday" camera in the tow electrics socket hooked up to the double din. Second camera on the rollcage connected to a rear view mirror screen for when I cant see out the back. Both work brilliantly.

Did you guys use the MUD double din conversion kit?
Thinking about this as a upgrade in a few months with a apple carplay DD in.

I used a custom cut Raptor dash for my TD5. I have android auto in the head unit but due to the location in a defender its not really useful for much apart from music. Which is easier to stream via bluetooth, keeping the phone at eye level for satnav.

My rear view mirror camera is by Toguard if anyones interested, £40 off ebay and simple as to wire up. Also has a front dash cam but I dont use that feature.

That sounds good, mines a basic chinesium 2 camera and 7x5 screen set up. I cut my screen into the back of my sun viser. Like you, I just stick my phone to the screen to see sat nav and stream music to wi fi speaker. So much easier than messing with head units and wired speakers.
