Previous image Up to current index page (1) Next image Here's the camera kit, CAD$32 including delivery from China (eBay link from seller coolintshop). There's also (not shown) a double-sided sticky gasket, and nut/washers for the mounting post on the camera. My camera is white, but the same all-metal model can also be had in black or chrome.Also note that there is no need for a special camera with built-in illumination LEDs: the car has those already, they're called "backup/reversing lights". Nice brass (rust resistant) mounting post on top of camera. I later added some goop where the wiring enters the post to improve weather tolerance. This particular camera includes the ability to disable the camera's own guide lines on the display, in favour of using the adjustable ones provided by the Subaru MFD. I cut/taped the white wire, to give a rearview image with no camera guide lines. Note: the replacement camera I later installed had the two colours reversed from the original. The four-pin connector that joins the camera to the the rest of the setup. And the 6m long cable to run between the hatch area and the MFD at the front of the car. Getting the video cable to the back of the MFD turns out to be easier than first thought. Hunt for the MFD wiring harness just left of the air ducts, and fish the RCA cable along the same path. My MFD adapter: two standard female square socket pins at one end (for the MFD), and an RCA connector at the other end (for the video cable from the camera). Note that a computer (PC) "speaker cable" (or CDROM audio cable) has the same kind of pins with the correct spacing.
