Rear-view camera installed

[zam2000]

Around near where I live & hang out (OC) and work (West LA), parallel parking is a must. Unfortunately, parking slot are tight, not to mention people really park close to the line, so you can't fit in between (or so they thought). Not to mention the type of car that if you bump into are often expensive to repair/fix.

Well, I got the problem resolved: back-up camera. It works wonder. I use the Kenwood CCD-900, with ultra-wide angle (120 degree). I aim it at angle just as the one in Lexus car, with bumper line for reference. The camera works really well in all condition, even low light. I custom make a control switch for power, so it could be on at both reserve/forward.

Since I have to open things apart, I also make a custom aux port, helpful for my iPod and digital voice memo.

Best part of all: the camera allow me to park into space that I could never though possible. No wonder the Lexus and Infinity owner love that option in their car.

Car looks beautiful. Can you direct me to where you obtained the rear chrome light housing over the plate. I am looking for one to replace on my 2001 e320.

Thanks

They carry it. After seeing it in the car pictured above,I ordered one for my E320.

That is also the same store where I bought my wood shift know (w/the Benz insignia inlaid on top). I am very happy with it.

Try them.

I also bought (from the dealer this time), a chrome lip that attaches to the bottom of the license plate frame. I use it to pull the trunk down and not fingerprints all over the paint.
