reversing camera

[chris323]

need to replace the current system as the camera has failed (full of condesation inside the lense and virtually un viewable)
anybody got links to a cheep but reasonable system?

Just try replacing the camera. It will be plugged into the loom inside within a meter of the camera. Usually on two din plugs

One of ours was like that today, after being parked up for 3 months, facing north.
We went for a drive to give the van a run out, we stopped for a good half hour with the camera facing the sun and it’s now cleared itself.
Might be worth moving your van to get some sun on it first before the hassle of replacing it.

How about using a hair dryer first nothing to lose?

Do a search for 5 Pin reversing camera on fleabay, there are a couple there, Google the same and there are a few others, looks like this is an available but not particularly standard cable configuration. The majority that use the same cable for signal and power use a 4 pin version. I have attached the pin out of the different cable types, you may be able to either get, or make up, a 5 to 4 pin adapter and get a 4 pin camera as a replacement, there are plenty of those around.
I found that my cameras always filled up with condensation over winter, so I rewired them with IP67 connectors with panel mounted IP67 sockets and fitted them to the brackets using thumbscrews so I can remove them in the winter. Usually bringing them indoors for a few days does clear them.

will look wiring a differ type of camera in and cutting and solding the current cable to suit the new equipment
