you have to saw off the sides of the camera bracket. Basically where the flat part of the mount extends out past the hinges needs to be cut off. let me know if you need further clarification. you're essentially just cutting off part of the flat surface that it mounts on.

Did anyone with a 09 succesfully install their cameras to their OEM NAV screen?
My shop tried installing it this past weekend and they couldnt get it to work...

okay, finally installed Navtool unit & kenwood cmos 200 camera. Navtool unit is working red power light is on but when in reverse no backup camera image??

Followed all wiring connection & double checked(multimetered for voltage)...purple "reverse" wire from cmos 200 tapped into orange reverse light, ACC red wire tapped into push start ignition & grounded black wire, all these 3 wires connected to power supply box side labeled 'camera'.
Cmos 200 video cord of camera connection cord plugged into video 2 of Navtool unit with one end to power supply box & other end to camera itself.

Navtool; video 2 used, DC12V jack- black w/ white stripes to 12v acc. power & black wire grounded, RGBS position, green & 2 white wires grounded, blue wire to reverse light wire, connected plug & play Navtool harness to navtool unit & oem nav system.


Question?- does the oem nav system needs to be switched to backup camera setting?, if so I couldn't find such a setting on the screen.

Got the kit yesterday. Took about 5 hours to do the install. Mostly because I spend a lot of time dealing with the roof compartment in the roadster.

For anyone doing a roadster the easy way to do a roadster is to open the top halfway to where the roof compartment is all the way up and the back portion of the roof is flipped up. Then find a strut (I used a 1X2 piece of scrap in my woodshop) to prop the roof compartment hatch up. Then take the two push in snaps out of the front of the covers on each side of the compartment cover. Then take out the two push in clips holding the cover behind each seats. Finally take out the two rests on the bottom of the compartment by prying from the font side of the clip. At that point the whole cover will just fold up to the rear of the compartment and you can take the big piece of foam out and get to fishing...

The last thing is when you finish up just take the roof and manually push it into the storage area. its all hydraulic and there will be no pressure left by the time you are done. If you try and activate the roof it won't do anything until you drop the roof into the cover area. After that it is all normal again.

Difficulty is a 4 only because of dealing with the roof compartment is a pain.

Nice kit Brian. Thanks for putting it all together.

Hi,

I don't really if that the correct place to post. If it isn't please excuse me and show me where to post that. Did a few searchs but didn't find any thing.

I bough this camera and followed the guide for installation. Only the camera, no remote to activate it on demand.
Everything went smoothly.

But now, sometimes, not every time, when I switched out of reverse, the camera stays on screen.
Not any of the buttons would work.
If I stop the engine and restart it immediately, it's still displayed, I have to stop it for a few minutes to get the thing to work correctly.

Did I miss something during installation?
Had anyone got this before?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

I've seen this a couple of times. Please check the configuration numbers were entered correctly and specifically the first number which is a negative.

To enter the negative number you first enter the number and then use the +/- button to toggle between positive and negative. This is really counter intuitive, so you may have thought you entered a negative number but didn't.

Anyway, I pretty sure that if you correct any mistakes on the numbers the problem will go away. What is happening is it is a computer after all and it is effectively locking up when trying to do the grid line calculations.

Let me know if you have any other problems or questions.

I remember taking extra care on that part at installation time but when I checked that, it wasn't negative... (probably because if you put all the number written, then, even if you push +/-, it won't change, you have to remove the last '0' to get it to work... so lame of them).

So corrected that. I'll update you with the result, but unfortunately, this won't be in the next 2 weeks, as I won't be able to drive it in the mean time.

Thanks for your help !

Coyote

Now I can confirm that it's working perfect!

Thank for your help!

Do roadsters have to use the remote control version?

bdl99

The remote version is favored by the roadster owners because I believe there is no blank switch to place the extra heated seat switch.
