Default Video-nav

I just wanted to say that after using the video-nav piece it worked flawlessly as I just got done witha 03 gs430 custom install with the pioneer tuner the pba device and a sony 10 dvd changer and one rear back up and two side view cameras. Here are some pics of the installllll Here is a link to Video-navs site http://www.video-nav.com/index.html
Thanks again to Dmitry at video-nav If anyone is interested but doesn't want to tackle it themselves let me know!

The cameras went in the plastic bumper cover below the rear side marker lights @ 5 inches forward from the back of the bumper. Here is a pic from the inside of the trunk. I have the rest of my pics at work and will post later. There is a 3 position switch that allows control between the cameras. I will see what/ who manufactured the cameras as they are color 130 degree wide angle with reverse image and waterproof.

Does the video display looked rounded or curved outward? Or is it just me?

Is there any nav screen ghosting from the nav map with your install? Did you solder all the connections?

Congratulations Scott. It's look really great. The side view camera is SICK. Can you use the side view camera while you're driving? This way you can check the blind spot.

First of all I drive a 00 470 and this vehicle is a customers car we just finished Tuesday. As far as the fish eye distortion it is normal for a wide angle camera in its location recessed into the lock hole. By the way the cameras can be monitored at any time , they are on the pioneer tuners aux 1 input and the switch that controls which camera is on is under the parking brake release.Here is a pic of the 3 position switch. There is no ghosting in any of the modes. All connections are soldered. . I will post some more pics as soon as I remember to bring them home!
