Rear and Side View Cameras in 2007 AI

[LB_3]

I never really updated this thread after I finished the install.

One issue I had was trying to figure out where to mount the rear camera. If I mounted it on the roof, it wouldn't be able to see much behind the vehicle and if I mounted further back by the third brake lights, the flat base would never securely mount on the curved section of the van.

So here is the mounting solution I came up with, using the 3rd brake light for inspiration I had the following 3d printed:

camera:


Base and custom insert:



And all three together:


Next time I have the Interstate out I'll try to take a picture of it mounted on the roof.

Here's a pic of the rear camera view. This is a crummy cell phone pic so it appears more washed out than the live view.

Old thread, but a user on another forum asked for a close-up of the final rear view camera mount, so here it is.

Can you tell me which turn signal wires you tapped into for the side cameras? Color and location? I see my trailer harness is already tapped into Fuse Block #1 Turn Signals but leveraging that will cause the cameras to flash off and on with the action of the turn signal relay.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Well hello Rosenberg and welcome to Air Forums! You are not that far away from us.

I will make sure my husband sees this question. He's working right now.
