Re: Summary
RicoF wrote:
I was looking for an answer, posted in the forum but after a good search I came across this 14 page topic... so to summarize, if you get a camera from fleabay... to get it working with RR mode you need to:
1. Take off screen
2. Dismantle screen
3. Cut off 4th wire from white plug
4. For a reversible mode, one needs to put in a toggle switch through this 4th cable
Now for this mod you get RR mode or D3 mode... (to switch between the two car needs to be off, sleep and restart)
While in RR mode, the reverse camera still does not go automatically unless it is enable via faultmate... (or any other diagnostic system I guess)
A problem is the dim screen in RR mode, but for that there is a 'tougher' mod via a diode... which is permanent as it leaves screen in RR mode...
One can also upgrade the screen software... (don't know how... so that's another search to do)...
Hope this post is of help...
How is the Camera connected to the screen? any wiring instructions?

I mate, you need all the parts suggested by rennos:
1 x 20-50KΩ photoresistive sensor
1 x 43KΩ resistor

I have this working in RR Mode, works great and the brightness control works perfect with the diode method. The one question I have and can't seem to find an answer for is, why is the video in zoom mode when I put it in reverse? When I go into diagnostic menu, I can go from Normal to Wide to Wide 2 and the picture is normal. Any help would be appreciated? Is there a way to keep this permanent on Wide 2?

How much would this cost and can you ship to the USA?

but is not important for me, I use the camera to have a wide view and during the parking maneuver I use the PCD

Hi guys, I've just done this, cut the middle wire, locked the car up, waited 5 mins, started up, and it's exactly the same, same two options, nothing has changed and everything works, what am I doing wrong? Cheers Jack. 2006 disco 3 SE
