Awesome research rdennis.

I bought a wide angle infrared backup camera on eBay to test it out, super cheap at only $40. I'm thinking about mounting it in the rear spoiler to the left side of the 3rd stoplight. Since my car is white I will apply black vinyl to the back side of the wing to hide the camera better.

Wouldn't that be too high? How about putting near the license plate lights? I think this is where the original backup cam is located.

Anybody sourced out part numbers for the Mitsubishi OEM backup cam?

Looks like Mits OEM camera is MZ607361 available for 54,600 Yen whcih is about $460 USD. Seems about right I know Honda charges around $500 for its rear camera.

Thanks, this should be easier to ship. I hope to find some long lost friends in Japan to score me one.

The speed sensor wire is terminal 13 on C-10 (red/green wire). But you can't just disconnect it because the system also uses the GPS to determine speed. You can watch a DVD at any speed by disconnecting the speed sensor wire AND unplugging the GPS antennae but then:

a) Nav system is f*cked
b) Mileage calcs, etc. are f*cked
c) Speed calcs, etc.are f*cked
However, at least you can watch a movie while driving around in circles completely lost!

RD,

I'm assuming you already disconnected the wire to try? Have you disconnected both with success?

In addition, I'm not to concerned about the Nav right now, seeing as I live in a major urban city that's damn near impossible to get lost in.

Yes, disconnecting both speed sensor and GPS will allow you to play a DVD while driving at any speed.

I first tested twice with just the speed sensor wire disconnected - first time it worked for a a minute or so and didn't seem impacted by the speed (I was travelling from stop to about 50 km/hr) but then the GPS computer kicked it. Second time, GPS kicked it as soon as I hit 6 km/hr. I attribute the result of the first test to being a bit of a fluke as I had just pulled out of the garage and the GPS was probably still acquiring the signal.

Thanks for the tip. I guess at 90$ you really get what you pay for. And I read from the brochure that cellphones (and othe radio devices) also interfere with the video signal. Probably not a good idea at all.
