Q: Does the kit come with full instructions?
A: Yes the kit contains full instructions with step by step instructions and pictures
Q: What cable do I need to play video from my iPod/Pad on the car screen?
A: The optional AV cable allow audio/video input via three RCA connectors (you know the Red/White and Yellow ones). You will need a cable like this one (depending on your device) http://astore.amazon.com/bdlhome-20/detail/B001H9NX3O
NOTE: Note available/compatible with EU cars
Q: Are the front and rear cameras the same?
A: They are of similar quality but the rear camera is a reversed image where the front isn't and the front camera is also a bullet camera which facilitates a very clean/easy install
Q: Does this kit have the moving grid lines?
A: No, the grid lines require the later AV unit that is installed in the US2011+ and EU SatNav cars
Q: Why is the 2009/10 kit more expensive than the 2011/12?
A: The US2009/10 and non-SatNav EU cars require a Composite to RGB converter that isn't required for the US2011+ cars. The converter used in our kits is of high quality and better than the ones you will find in kits costing twice as much...
Q: How is the front camera turned on?
A: This depends on whether you purchase the bypass kit or not:
Without the bypass kit you can activate the front camera with a supplied push to toggle switch that can be mounted anywhere you like. I recommend under the R-Mode switches, it attaches with double side tape and is very slim and wont be seen. There is also a remote supplied than comes with the backup camera interface that can also be use.
With the bypass kit then you have the same options as above, but you can also use button 4 on the remote which can be paired to one of the home link buttons on the rear view mirror if desired.
The other benefit of the bypass kit is that it enables me to tap in to the reversing signal wire through the plug and play harness. If you don't go with the bypass kit you will need to use a scotch-lock connector on either the back of the AV unit or on the rear light cluster to pick up the reversing signal.
Q: Do you have any videos of the kit in use
A: Yes
Below is a short video of the front and rear kit installed in a US 2010 car and shows the use of the Homelink buttons on the mirror to switch the cameras. Of course the rear camera does automatically switch on when engaging reverse.
