    Worth replacing OEM backup camera after installing new head unit?

    Do you really need or want the video on both the head unit and the mirror? I'd toss the splitter and just use one or the other. Just my thoughts on it.

    Worth replacing OEM backup camera after installing new head unit?

    Update: Received camera and tested it (just plugged it into the OEM harness)...the quality was slightly better but not worth the cost so I've returned it. I have had the same Dynavin with a backup camera which worked great but that one I ran all new wiring. I suspect the limitation is the OEM...

    Worth replacing OEM backup camera after installing new head unit?

    I've ordered a new camera which should arrive Sunday. I'll post back once I have it installed and comment on the quality vs the OEM camera in my spoiler now.

    Worth replacing OEM backup camera after installing new head unit?

    I'd be suspecting the splitter as the graininess seems more like a signal issue than a resolution issue.

    Removed stripes

    Finally a nice day so I installed the CDC front chin spoiler and side skirts and got some better pictures out in the sun. Very happy with how it came out after the stripe removal and these small additions. Torn on a style bar...

    Worth replacing OEM backup camera after installing new head unit?

    It functions like a stock unit would. It's android-based so you'd be a step ahead of me on the interface but I mainly just connect to CarPlay anyway. All the controls work and are easy to use...climate controls, seat heaters, etc. all work perfectly. It really has no quirks and is the second...

    Removed stripes

    Thanks...yeah, I agree on the luck...I had planned for it to take days LOL. Your post made me think back through this project and now I am convinced the stripes were not that old. When I got the car, the black paint was in pretty poor shape from apparent car wash abuse and neglect of proper...

    2013-14 tail lights on 2010-12

    What is the "filler for the gap" you mention? This idea intrigues me :)

    Alternative rear view camera

    Excellent information and write up. I'm sure this will be useful to others, as well.

    Would you say the aftermarket camera is superior to the stock (image quality)? If so, significantly or not? Which camera did you go with? I was looking at Master Tailgaters version. Thanks!

    Removed stripes

    I picked up a 2012 GT Convertible a few months ago. Living in Iowa it has spent most of it's time with me in storage but I've moved it into the garage and have been cleaning it up for spring. The paint was pretty bad (swirl marks) from auto car wash but overall in really good condition for her...

    Worth replacing OEM backup camera after installing new head unit?

    Weather is turning so moved the Mustang (convertible) from storage to the garage. I finally got around to trying the different harness (RCA to pins) which made minimal, if any, difference. While I was waiting I contacted a replacement camera seller and they have one that is a direct...

    Worth replacing OEM backup camera after installing new head unit?

    If I didn't have the factory Nav (with screen) I might have left it alone as I can see where having the standard unit feels more appropriate in a muscle car. The Dynavin (left) looks almost identical to the OEM (right) and brings a lot of modern features. I also splurged on the Heads Up unit...

    Worth replacing OEM backup camera after installing new head unit?

    I didn't want to spend as much as the Dynavin cost but, for me, it was worth it. I agree completely that most of the dash kit installs (with typical 2D head units) just looked out of place. Plus...you can't find a good head unit with a volume knob which drives me nuts. All the variety of...

    Worth replacing OEM backup camera after installing new head unit?

    I just installed the Dynavin D9 head unit in my 2012 GT Premium. Previously, the car had the OEM navigation head unit and the quality of the screen and camera were so-so. I integrated the OEM backup camera into the Dynavin using 2 pins from the Nav harness. It works, but the video quality is...
