Has any one fitted a wireless system and what do you think of it please? Would you recommend it. Mine has died, the screen lights but no image, can't trace the problem, Alan.

Short answer is NO.
Any camert requires a power supply and any rear view system worth having is to valuable just to use while reversing. You have to wire it into a key switched power supply anyway so do the job properly and connect the camera to the monitor. No interferance problems either.

Alan,

You have the wires. It's sort of a test by substitution with the monitor and if that's OK, maybe it's water in the camera. Then replace the faulty bit.

Thanks chaps. That's more or less the conclusion I have come to this afternoon. I don't think it's damp as there has been no rain here in France for some time. I have found where most of the wiring runs, the connectors are a kind of small round multi plug affair joining cable about the same diameter as co-axial. Those connections seem ok. The monitor comes on when I switch it on or engage reverse but no image just a lit up blank screen. Do you know if there is a standard plug on cameras or some makes of cameras? I can't find a makers name on either the camera or the monitor. Is there a control box somewhere or just the monitor and camera with power and earth. I assume two power sources, one from the reversing light switch and one from the ignition. It could just be a bad connection if I can find where it's connected. It all seems to be behind the dash.

Any further thoughts appreciated. Thanks, Alan.

On our Swift Suntor the camera supply ect.is under the storage compartment on the top of the dashboard passenger side. We had a similar fault which turned out to be due to the actual setting of the camera contrast/brightness settings

Thanks all. I liked the contrast, brightness idea. Sadly it was not that.

I will dismantle the dash and see if I can find where it all connects up, I am still hoping it's a bad connection, Alan.
