The icons can be easily unclipped and changed over all these switches.
I was suprised but happy that itīs possible to scrape away the grey coating of the icons so that the "transparent" base is revealed. That way the pictures/icon can be changed - but only by removing the dark grey surface.

(the red backlight of the SLC switch doesnīt really make me happy. But I couldnīt get another switch that stays "locked" when pressed and releases when pressed again in used and for a reasonable price)

(Different switches require different elect. connectors (colour coded)).

Mudstuff sell a sheet of assorted Carling switch transfers that might work?

I've been looking at reversing cameras too as the rearward visibility on the 110 DC is terrible.

Anyone had an experience or got any opinions on this?

That kit seems extremely good value - has everything you would need. The Camera seems to be surface mounted so think about where you would mount it and how (screws, glue etc). I used a bullet cam which fit into an existing hole in the cross member so no drilling required. I paid three times as much for my kit though.

It's probably not clear in the listing but the screen clips over the rear view mirror and when not in use reverts to a reflective surface.

The idea appeals as I don't fancy having a separate screen just for the reversing camera which clutters up the dash.

SGH, that looks great. Is it practically large enough? Where did you get it from?

Any more details of your camera system please ken? Does your monitor allow you to view two cameras at once, say one on the Defender and one on a trailer?

I'll take some more pic later today mirror has two screens it's designed to clip over mirror but I have removed clips and stuck with moulding tape to the interior mirror.

I have two cameras one on crossmember and on above rear doors.

This above rear doors..

I have some of these cameras coming into stock this week and some of these monitors that hopefully fit onto the original interior mirror stalk but will know more when they arrive.

Ideally I'd like to get a GPS unit that can take a video input so I only have the one screen. There are some Garmin units that do that but start at Ģ240. Various ebay ones claim to do it too - Ģ50 but not sure of quality. If someone has an ebay GPS plus reversing cam screen please post details.
