Having had sat nav factory fitted on my present car I decided that I didn't want to go down that route with my Mokka as I much prefer my Tomtom to in built system, however I did want to have the rear view camera but not prepared to pay for the sat nav for that feature alone. I now have the tomtom app on my ipad.
Does anyone know if there is an external camera for the ipad which could be fitted to give a rear view (for reversing) camera.

your going to plug your ipad in every time you want to reverse?

Really. Sorry but what a ball ache thats going to be.

Found this on googlehttp://www.slashgear.com/scosche-axes-iclops-ipad-camera-accessory-13126187/

Psp888 - no, but when I have the ipad in the car and using for satnav it would give the option of having a better view to the rear for reversing and would also guess that the picture (resolution) would be far better than that on a factory fitted satnav and if there was a camera that just plugged in then that portion would be left in the car so would only need to plug into the ipad.
Thanks for that Fatman. Edited by: Mokkadna

You could strap something like this to the bumper:

Hoping for something a little more discrete which could be attached to the rear window, but thanks anyway. Edited by: Mokkadna

The whole point of the reversing camera is to give you a view lower down that the rear window can't give you.

These are also a nice option so you dont have a seperate screen somewhere on the dash:

Put em where you want i guess -

As long as you can see behind can't really see that it would be a problem DCB. Cars and vans used to fit stick on refractors to enable them to see down towards the bumper in years gone past. The camera option is only an updated but better system.

Surely you would need to bolt the ipad to your bumper and drill a hole in the boot for the cable

Well don Jcol. Although if you can get them all you would need would be a small camera inside rear window with cable to connect to iPad.

If you have a Navi 600, is it possible to add the rear view camera on afterwards?

 

[Skavish2003]

I don't think it's as simple as other cars which have the blank fitted ready for one. The camera is actually mounted just above the number plate. For the low cost of the factory fitted one I think anyone having nav should have it ordered. Edited by: Skavish2003

I'd be interested to see how you'd stand from a legal point of view if you mount your iPad on the dash as a sat nav. Does it not restrict your view?

 

[Ixasio]

It could be a mini ipad lol

 

[Andylad]

Very true. I admit my mistake. In time I can envisage maps being projected onto the whole windscreen rather like a head-up display found on some aircraft

They would need a non reflective area due to the effect the lamination of the glass , otherwise it would be double, triple vision effect .

Has anyone said that it would be on the dash.
