Is there any good shops in the Bay Area that can hook up a rear camera or TV into my Nav Screen? Thanks!

call vision car audio at 650-595-4300. they're in san carlos. tell 'em gabe sent ya. he should hook you up.

 

Dude, how much?

Heck, I might drive to San Carlos!

 

Let me know as well, I am interested in price quote etc....
Thanks !

 

don't know how much. call and ask. speak with navid. it's pronounced like david only with an N in the front. he's the owner. al(berto) is the head installer. talk to him about how you might want to install it.

 

I put my own camera in the [unused] rear brake light and connected it into the Navi in the "video in".

Using this camera for $55. It's ok, not that great though.

So when the camera is plugged in, I see rearview image on all screens, the visor screen, the Navi screen, and the backseat screen. It's gimmicky at best. The spoiler is sorta in the way but I sure can see the police planes if they're following me from the air.

 

Update,

I called Navid (very nice and helpful). He basically stated that TV reception was awful and not to waste money. He is looking into the rear camera option and will call me with details. I'll keep you posted! Also, Gabe got the DVD and PS2 conversion, so that is do-able if you want that.

Did he say how much for the DVD conversion?

 

Since I'm not interested in the DVD/PS2 conv I didn't ask details. Sorry!

I was quoted $750 to hookup a rearview camera to nav screen. Not sure if it is worth it? Sounds like a fair price.

lank: ask him what parts he uses. he only uses high quality parts, so if you want to use something else i'm sure it'll be cheaper. anyway the conversion costs $350 without the custom. check my thread with the link to the pics. if you were to do the conversion i'm sure you can hook up a cheap video camera to the rca jacks.

 

good luck finding a AVC-RGB1 converter, because they are discontinued. but i am in the bay area and have done a few nav conversions myself. it's quite easy for me to do it. (link in sig)

let me know if i can help you

 

Huh. Not even close. $200, maybe. And that's with a good camera.
