Finally a cure for rear imaging

[GTSnake]

As you all know the Viper doesn't have much of a sound system. Even worse is the rear imaging due to the rear speaker firing into the trunk. Obviously this doesn't apply to RT/10 guys.

I have finally solved the problem with some help from an installer friend of mine. He fabricated a speaker pod that's attached to the B-pillar trim. It looks amazing. It looks like it came from the factory with the same graining as the trim.

And BTW he installed a rear camera with monitors too

Cool! That rear view mirror thing freaked me out for a second, I've never seen one before.

But then again, I don't get out much.

What brand monitor do you have? I assume it is also a DVD/CD player?

 

[GTSnake]

The rear view monitor is a 6.5" LCD/mirror. The head unit monitor is the Panasonic CQ-VD7500U with a 7" monitor.

So is your friend making more? - if so how much?

Where is the camera mounted?

What kind of camera did you use for the rear view? I have a chase cam I could use with a DVD head unit, but I don't know how to reverse the image, like a mirror would. A purpose-built rear-view camera would probably solve that problem but I'd rather not buy another.

Cop Magnet,
Have the rear camera look back through an angled mirror.

I'm sure he can make more. I paid $200 each.

I replaced my trunk key with the camera. So now I open the trunk with the remote trunk release. You can always install the camera on the left side of the license plate by drilling another hole but I'm a little hesitant about drilling holes in my car.

I got it off of ebay. Just search for rear view camera. They are getting cheaper by the day.
