Previous image Up to current index page (1) Next image A bit of hot-melt glue helps keep things in place for the long haul, yet can be peeled away easily when needed. Be careful not to get it on any of the empty pins! Not suitable for very hot climates, though fine in Ottawa. A late addition: inline fuse between the power (from Reverse Lights) and the rest of the wiring. I used a 0.5A fuse, though anything up to about 1.0A should be fine. The camera wiring in the hatch uses the clips conveniently provided from the factory, with a bit of foam tape (weatherstripping) wrapped around the cabling to prevent rattles. Looks nice. White on white. The camera was mounted by drilling a 15/64" hole through the plastic at the "cut out" markings intended for the factory camera. The camera is mounted parallel with the face line of the cut-out, giving the best orientation for aligning the Subaru on-display guide lines. And the colour match is much better than it appears in this photo. The view down our driveway in the rearview mirror. Compare with next photo.. Same driveway, same position, but quite a startling view of things from the camera. This was before I aligned the MFD guide lines correctly. The original camera failed after three months, so I replaced it with a near identical one. Here is the inside of the failed one. The replacement is still going strong two years later.
