nice, how much it cost in Japan and does resolution good? wondering if only one license plate light left after camera installed or still having two?
u JDM whore LOL!! you get all the goodies for your odyssey, I envy u!!
honestly I bought mine 2nd hand from my friend's friend he owns the wreckers there, it cost me $260 without harness, since I didn't have time to wait for him to pull it out, camera resolution its very good
I think they are around $900 + complete, brand new fr honda
if you guys interested I will ask him to have a look for more, and postage it shouldn't be so much if only the camera
What I like to get is the automatic tailgate closing mechanism like what they have on the Lexus RX330 and Toyota Kluger.
only JDM Odyssey has that, it's really a handy option.
very nice
i like when u have all the factory options on a car
Got a shot of the image on your monitor when reversing? Does it show with the cross hairs or just a normal video image?
nah doesn't have that, maybe because I only using the camera instead of the whole set-up with the OEM monitor .........Quote:

Just found something similar..ish on e-bay
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....lenotsupported
Anyone got any idea how's the quality like?
from the spec the quality it won't be as good coz they are using CMOS, usually a good camera is using CCD, but still its a bargain thou
hey Evo, why u and me are always on the same spot............. leave one for me..........
as aka_NSX advised, that one is not that good as using CMOS but if you pay $30+ more you can get a CCD one (search more on the same seller). i'm tossing at the moment.........
hey aka_NSX, can you see the rear bumper from yr JDM camera?
Thanks for the info guys.
Aus, I can only find the one I posted. Can you put the link for the CCD one? Thanks.
u owe me a beer :)
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....=STRK:MEWAX:IT
hehehe no problems mate. Thanks for the link, its a bit difficult to search ebay on my mobile
aka_NSX seeing that you got the know how on installing the camera, would you think it is something a DIY noob like me can attempt or just pay an audio installer to do it?
I have heard that you installed the Foglight yourself so I guess you won't have any problem installing this . . .
lol I think that's kind of different, I had the instruction pdf from Aus to follow.
Hmmmm might get it first then see how game I am to try to take apart the car
it doesn't matter . . . its still bloody hard to run the 2 wires that need to go under the fuse box in the engine bay . . .Quote:

Top one is the camera, bottom one is the OEM cover
So now I'm trying to get a refund for it, if it fails, then I'll have to 'customise' it. I should really stop buying crap from ebay:confused:
oh shit, never expect that mate...... at least its not that hard for customise that.....
Good thing it didn't cost too much too... Yeah was looking at it, it would just be cutting the casing to the correct length, doesn't have to be perfect cos nobody is going to notice it anyway
thats very bad . . .
for me since you already got it you should just try to modify it, coz if you ask for refund, you still lost some money for the postage and you don't know how long does it take
make sure you still lodge a complaint and give them a negative feedback . . . at least other people won't get rip off again
The guy's attitude is a bit bad, but he has 'offered' to refund the item, minus postage. I think like you said, not worthwhile sending it back, so I'll have to mod it.Quote:

It looks a bit different from the picture isn't it?
Dan - Actually it looks exactly like the ad. Its the angle that I took the photo that makes it look different.
Quick question for Dan and aka_NSX. Did you guys have to drill any holes to allow the camera cables to run into the boot door? I can't seem to find an opening to run the wires from the plate lights into the boot frame.
My cable go through underneath the light, so the light doesn't clip on properly, but it's ok because the cover will hold tight the light anyway.
2nd that, but mine its clip fine coz I file the housing . . .
Something is not right with my reversing camera. Hooked up the HU to interrupt when reverse is engaged. Camera also gets power from the reversing light and the camera is attached to an RCA input on my Clarion HU unit marked 'CCD input'. When I switch to reverse, the screen changes and the camera powers up. The image comes out really bad like when you don't tune your TV properly.
I tried changing the AV input source to a RCA Aux input and when I engage reverse, the picture from the camera is as clear as day!!!???? But I can't use AUX cos if I leave the camera attached to it I will need to manually change channel to see.
Anyone got any idea what's happening? The picture is clear as day on the AUX input, but totally gibberish on the proper CCD channel.
Is CCD input for reverse camera? My JVC head unit has an input with a label says reverse camera. Or maybe the seller gave you the CMOS instead of CCD?
It is labeled CCD input and is descibed as the input for reversing cameras in my HU install book. Wouldn't put it past the seller to give me the wrong camera although it was marked CCD when I recieved it. I'm go to my audio installer to see what they do.
thats what i think too for mixing up CMOS and CCD by the sellers especially you said "clear as day" via AUX but i'm noob on this so better shut up........
maybe you should check the colour system set-up on your headunit PAL / NTSC, maybe the camera is NTSC and the input on the Headunit still in PAL . . .
Did that already, I switched between PAL and NTSC on the HU camera interrupt options, made no difference.
If the HU only accepts CCD in the camera input, will connecting a CMOS camera cause the picture to go all crappy?
Update on the ebay camera...
Don't even bother looking at it 1) Doesn't even fit 2) The Camera doesn't work at all, had to buy a new camera. 3) The crap camera doesn't have the reversing distance indicator as shown in the ad.
In the end I settled with this. Not as neat...but at least it works.
