Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone has had any joy with fitting a wireless reverse camera to a disco 2 and how it's worked for them. I saw someone post about a wired on but it involved taking off the dash and I don't have the tools or room to do this (live in central London).

I'm thinking of using a iPad as my entertainment system so a wireless camera that goes with this would be great. Anyone used anything similar?

Why on earth would you want to fit a reversing camera to a D2 ? You have good all round vision and it's no longer than your average estate car, unlike a hatch back where vision is pretty much obscured.

We have a wireless camera in the trailer, two of them in fact, connected to the Discovery by a wireless link.

Works fine.

The ones we used were all on ebay, 28mm cameras, 2.4ghz transmitter receiver and a 7.5" monitor as we are using it as a rear view mirror.

This type of camera:
IR LED Night Vision Waterproof HD Car rear view camera reversing Reverse 135° | eBay

This type of radio set:
New Wireless RCA Video Transmitter & Receiver for Car Reverse Camera Monitor UK | eBay

This monitor:
7 Inch TFT LCD Color Car Rearview Monitor Reversing CCTV Camera DVD+ IR | eBay

The trailer is nearly 8 metres long, the cameras are cabled to the front where the transmitter is located.

The receiver is in a plastic box with a power lead to the rear accessory socket and the video/power cable to the monitor.

Separated from the trailer we had 100ft coverage before the signal broke up.

We modified the monitor mount:

We are just about to change the cameras to new ones without the reverse guidance lines.

Ha ha indeed, I live in a square in central London with a school and am scared to death reversing when it's end of school hours incase a small human is around.

Also when the cheapest car on the street (apart from my disco) is a z4 I'm also concerned about reversing into a space just 2 feet longer than my car.

I've ordered one of the interweb, think it's the same as yours! Cheers for you help Auf Wiedersehen, Pet

The most difficult bit is hiding the cable. I'd love to see photos of yours when it's done.
