Dudes - Any reports on the installation of products like Wolfbox or CarTablet? I need some screen in my 60 and am considering that or a single DIN screend product like Pioneer

DMH-WT7600NEX.​


Any thoughts, opinions or experiences to share? Always appreciate your expertise.

Thanks,
Rob
 
I am unfamiliar with Cartablet, but I was doing a side-by-side comparison with Wolfbox and LucentVue. I was leaning towards the LucentVue 4k (and I believe a vendor on Mud is a distributor for them. Maybe he’ll chime in… with a Mud discount 😜)

A friend with a shop recently had a rig in and said driving with an always-on rearview camera was annoying. probably gonna look at a head unit with rear camera back up.

I’m going to follow this thread.

I have a pioneer DMH-WT3800NEX in my van. It allows 2 cameras, and selectable always on with easy switching between front and rear camera in my case. I like to keep the rear camera on when towing b/c I have no rear windows. It will put it in a smaller window on the screen if you want so it's less annoying. My only complaint is that it is full touch screen and no physical volume dial. It installs into a single din slot, 9" diagonal screen IIRC.

How is this different from a mirror? Because I've been wondering the same. Mt first thought was that it would be super annoying but on thinking about it more seems so like a mirror that you'd just get used to it?
 
Where andhow did you get/pick-up the reverse circuit?
If I remember correctly, I bought a back up camera off Amazon. It came with enough wire to run it up the drivers side to the stereo for the video feed. It also had a wire that I ran into the drivers side rear wheel well compartment and I soldered to the reverse light positive and ground wire I attached to ground, this triggers the back up camera on stereo.
 
I fly solo.. so my navigation tablet is front and centre. On the rare occasions a passenger has the misfortune to accompany me they are still quite comfortable unfortunately..

I'm having trouble locating this. :censor:
Pull the whole light assembly out,
Locate the reverse bulb then the wires leading away from the reverse bulb are the wires you need. Take a multi meter and find the positive. The ground wire can be grounded to any good ground you can find. This is how I did it, 3 years no issues.

Really helpful. I realize now that what I’m getting at is do people 1) go to the reverse bulb or, 2) go directly to the source/transmission. Sounds like almost everybody goes to the bulbs.

Thanks for your help!!

I went to the bulb because the back up camera I purchased the wires that trigger the camera were only about 3 feet long and I didn’t want to add more length, so just seemed like the easiest option at the time.
