Hello guys.
My parents have bought me a 512GW and the rear camera as a combined birthday/Christmas present. They worry about me (as parents do!) as I do a lot of mileage commuting (40k pa), mostly dodging morons on the motorway as I'm sure a number of you do!
I'm pretty mechanically and electronically competent so I'm going to attempt to hard wire it myself (whilst Halfords could, their reputation for quality work isn't all that great...) into a Mk7.5 Golf GTD, using the Nextbase kit. I'd like to have the intelligent parking mode on so will look for a permanent live fuse.
I'm starting to read through a number of the threads here but is/are there any pertinent points around this set up I'd need to know before I start? I'm aware of the drop in quality of the front camera when the rear is connected over just having the front, aware the G sensor can be pretty sensitive (especially with parking mode and closing of course doors etc). Aside from those, is there anything else I need to know about before I begin?
Thanks
Ben
