Reversing camera install in Number Plate lights


killervq30de

Recommended Posts

I want to install a wireless reversing camera in what seems to be the factory position?  The left or right plate light.  When I tried to remove one of the lights the screw metal was soft as butter and stripped the head good :/ so will need to sort that hopefully with my actual question. 

 

With the BP I assume if I pull off all the carpet/plastic trim on the boot lid, I will get to the back of the number plate lights and I can drop the light out that way and get better access to put the wireless transmitter in and do the other wiring?

 The factory location is next to the number plate light, not in it. There is a perforation in the plastic trim so you can punch out that piece to fit the camera. I've tried a number of avenues both here and overseas to get a factory camera for my 2007 facelift wagon, but no luck so far. Keep us updated with your progress.

Not sure why you'd want  a stock camera.

a) $$$

b) crap resolution

 

I installed a "$10 shipped ebay special" camera in my old BLE and it was miles better than a crappy factory camera in a much newer BR9.

@BMCracer @sobanoodle

My mistake has caused confusion :)   Not Stock Location and Not Stock Camera

 

I want this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/wireless-wire-for-sony-ccd-HD-Car-Rear-View-Reverse-backup-Camera-for-SUBARU-FORESTER-IMPREZA/32215223171.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.265.MxJK5l   that replaces the left/right Numberplate light

 

I'm going to go ahead and order it, I just don't want to pull apart the whole boot lid and find I can't actually access the number late lights from behind 

 

So not stock on the far left but one of the two number plate lights

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
