does the atoto turns on automatically when you start the car? I do not want that, because i drive almost all the time in town, so i would know if is there an option to turn it on manually only when i need it for longer travels.
you brought back the nightmare that was fitting mine-though mine was one of those 12 inch monster tesla style screens which was a pain to fit. It looks great now but was a nightmare and I never want to fit another. Good job! Bessy regs-Kenny
Hiya, if you check the video at about 18mins in, you'll see me sorting out the wiring to the camera, which I mounted just above the rear number plate, with the wiring coming out from behind the number plate light. I think the camera can be mounted with 3M pad and/or screws. Hope that helps 😊
Perseverance and going through the pain barrier with numerous injuries and by Jove you’ve done it ! Was the camera cable long enough? Many thanks for sharing.
Perfect timing, I've just bought an Android radio. I wasn't going to use the reverse camera option, as I have one like yours over the mirror. I was worried about cutting that off by using it on the stereo - was that an issue for you?
Hi Steve, it wasn't an issue for me. I guess they both kick in once the reverse light power comes on, but they both work independently on my set up. The extra angle is useful, but I'm going to add after market sensors at some point. 😀
Great vid!, Can I ask if you had the dreaded flashing mileage and date / time problem? , I’ve read so much regarding aftermarket head units I’m scared to have a go!! Cheers Si
Hiya, thanks for the comment. I've not had any problems like that with this unit. And it's a budget unit, so you might expect some issues, but no. Only gripe is not remembering my sat nav and audio volume settings every time I turn the engine off. The finishing trim sometimes wobbles a bit lose, too, but I could solve that easily if it really bothered me 😁
Thanks for the comment. The van came with one really high up on the back looking down at the ground, but also at the bike rack. Good for some parking situations. With this extra camera, I wanted a number plate level view looking straight back, so I could see everything behind me that was more than 2 metres away. My new dascam also has a rear camera looking out of the rear window from inside, but this one is recording! Overkill maybe, but a bump could mean hundreds in repair costs. Sadly I still managed to bend my back rack while in France 😂
Hi, have you got any opinions on this having now owned it for several months ? Cheers ( cheeky ask as you may have mentioned it in one or more of your travel vids )
Hiya, it's still working well for me. Picks up my phone and whatever I had paused on my music app without needing help. No touchscreen faults. Tested the R button on the remote for reverse camera yesterday, something someone mentioned having an issue with, and mine came on fine. I think my only complaint is my volume setting isn't saved, so I have to increase music and sat nav volume each time I start the van. New speakers needed to replace the vans papier-mache ones😄 also, I've been fitting an amazing dashcam that has 3 cameras, including another reverse one, so I now have 3 reversing cameras! You can't have too many 😂 that video will be out soon. 😊
@@EscapeintheMotorhome , thanks for the reply. Am looking at this brand though after the 9" or 10" screen to replace a double din Pioneer unit which does not have DAB or Bluetooth, so your install review has been useful.
Im having a problem with my reverse camera ,when i put it in reverse the cMera works but when i press the r camera on my carset its telling me no video can you help me out on this thanks.
Hi Robert, sorry to hear it's not behaving. I've not had that problem yet myself. Have you tried their support? Sounds obvious I know, but a couple of questions I had were solved quickly through their support system. Hope you get it solved quickly. 👍
@robertmapp6506 I think that was the plan, however to give it power when not in reverse gear, perhaps it had its own power via it's cable. It's so long ago that I can't quite recall, sorry. It should all be in the instructions. Good luck 👍
Hiya, the sound has always been awful. A look behind the door panel and you see why. Speakers half the size of the hole they're in and cheap. I'm researching some better ones. 🙂
Hiya, we had no complaints with it around France. It sits alongside other non-traditional brands in the 'budget' price range. My only complaint is having to reset the navigation volume every time we turn on the engine. It doesn't remember it and the default is only something dogs can hear! 😁
Am watching again, although my fitting won't be the same as it's a slightly different dash. Have bought the A7XE (with DAB) today, hopefully get to look at thinking about wondering about installing it on Saturday.
Impressive work on Stampy yet again.
Thanks Archie!
Thanks for the tutorial, I'm am planning to fit one.
You're welcome
well done you got it sorted

Great tip Donny, I shall do that today before this weeks escape! :)
A very interesting vlog.. You only learn by having a go . Thats a nice setup especialy the steering wheel control ... and well done ...👍👍👍👍
Why, thank you! Certainly learning loads!

You're very brave - I hate playing with vehicle trim. My phone gave me some pictures of motorhomes when you did the "Hey Google"!
Sorry about that! It kept doing that when I was editing too!
Well done great job.
Thank you!

Sorry for the nightmares 😅 thanks 😁
Which threads need to be reversed to save the settings?
Where did you install the camera? Exact location? You missed that bit out.

@@EscapeintheMotorhome perfect. I must have skipped over that but looking for that bit 😊. Thanks and well done 👏
Daz talks Kit is a winner ! 😂
What's my prize? 😆😆😆

It was indeed! Works a treat. Many thanks 😊 🙏

You made that look so easy!! I'm nervous about adding a single Din head unit so I can get DAB radio in the motorhome. Rgds Gary aka TheGazzadj
Ah sometimes you've just gotta go for it! It did take quite a long time 😆
@@EscapeintheMotorhome Maybe I might brave it then ha ha.
hi buddy, nice video and greetings from france. What is the interest of the reversing camera honestly? what is you regular use? cheers, Fred

I have wireless rear view already fitted,will this unit pick up wireless camera?
Hi, I don't know sorry 😐 try messaging them as they're really responsive. Include lots of details. 👍

Did you setup your reverse camera to get power from your reverse light?

Now you changed out good sound for some bigger screen.. 😅
Hiya, the sound has always been awful. A look behind the door panel and you see why. Speakers half the size of the hole they're in and cheap. I'm researching some better ones. 🙂
6 months on, what's the verdict? I'm in the market for a replacement stereo.
