Unfortunately, it's now less than a half-hour before midnight on Saturday night, and I'm still working on it. So it looks like the new deadline is "sometime Sunday." I've just finished with page 6, out of a projected 8 pages. So far I have 30 photographs notated, with maybe 6-8 pix more to go, plus some additional text. |

Woops!
Time for another cop-out. It's Sunday evening, and I still have Page 8 plus all the proofreading and uploading to do. . . and there is a thunderstorm coming in off Lake Erie. So I'm shutting down the electronics for the night.
Maybe tomorrow? |

I'm waiting till I understand for sure which cable I need. I looked into this a year ago when I found out that my premium head unit was capable of showing video. It seemed like a big project at the time but with a guide and the new cameras it should be doable. I'm sure the guide will be out this week. I've waited a year for it so I can be patient.

If your HU looks like bobdole's, here: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...&postcount=103 --then write to SVXdc and he will send you the correct harness. IMO, you DO want the "6v camera power wire" add-on for an extra $2. see his webpage here: http://ae64.com/Rear-camera-install-8p.htm Believe me, this guy is super-helpful, and will advise you correctly. But he is busy, so at least get the ball rolling. I'm still working on the Guide --I don't have many pix for the last page, so I think I'm just going to put links and some verbal descriptions for adjusting things after the camera is physically installed. We were without internet service for about 24 hours Tues-Wed, and I spent most of Wednesday afternoon at my ISP tech support department. Obviously, their DSL server is back up & running now. |

As much as I thought this was a stupid feature, it would have really come in handy the last couple days, trying to back downhill between some trees for our camping spot...
Might have to look into this I guess |

That just wasn't acceptable safety for me. I still use my mirrors, but the image on the screen from the camera fills in that Mystery Zone, so that I know exactly what's lying, sitting, or crawling there before I back over it! |

Happy to report I got my harness. Talking with SVXdc he is very knowledgeable and an ease to work with. He even improved upon the original design of the harness. Now just waiting on the camera and then on to the install..

We never had any doubt, he's solid, just probably drowning in requests at this point.

Thank-you SilverBear for your excellent pictorial guide. A few weeks ago I loosely followed it for my own install, opting for a $30 (delivered!) camera from China that looks/acts identical to the Rydeen kits.
I did not get a response from SVXdc in time to use his connector, and so instead went the much cheaper route of just using a pair of square pin sockets to connect to the V+/V- pins at the back of the MFD. For power, I tapped into the reverse lights (BROWN wire w/YELLOW STRIPE, drivers side rear). I also discovered an easy way to route the video cable to the rear of the MFD, without drilling or having to remove extra dash components. Just look left of the air ducts, and you'll find the MFD wiring harness as it snakes its own way to the rear of the MFD. I followed that route, pulling the video wire through the space using a 14g wire as a fish tape. Some photos here: http://rtr.ca/subaru_mfd_camera/ More recently, one person posted that they fried their MFD doing this project with the pre-made connector. Dunno what that's all about, but do be careful guys. The fewer wires connecting to the MFD, the safer. Ideally just the video in (V+/V-) on pins 5,6. UPDATE: Today I added an inline fuse holder and 1A fuse, between the power source (Reverse Lights) and the rest of the camera wiring. I feel that a 0.75A fuse would be even better, but I didn't have one on hand -- ordered some via eBay for delivery next month. The idea of the fuse is simple: if/when Something Bad Happens, the fuse might protect the rest of the vehicle's electronics from the problem. Last edited by ssccoooobbyy; 05-22-2014 at 04:47 PM. |

Is the DUO plastic or metal? I'm thinking of using touchup paint maybe to match it to the car color instead of having it black... Thoughts?
Thanks |

IIRC it is plastic. I don't see why not as far as painting it. Just be careful about the lens.

Thanks. For the people that have done this with the camera offset to the side of the license plate how bad is it when looking at the monitor? Is it barely noticeable or a big annoyance?

most head units will allow you to calibrate the lines to help with offset.

Being a "Sun-sign Virgo". . . it _bothered_ me that it wasn't _centered!_ But as GSXpess sez, you can adjust a bit, and after a few times using it, you don't really notice if it's an inch or two off.
I mean, the point is to NOT back over childen, cats. etc. It's not a precision bomb-sight! |

Wait for his. Give it a week. He's a busy man.
