There is always Trailair if you are feeling flush......

http://www.landrovertrailair.co.uk/buy-trailair-by-land-rover/

Gives you a hitch level camera and tyre temp/pressure monitor for your LR and your trailer/caravan etc..

I keep flicking back and forward re this solution vs a cheaper camera only solution.

What I would really like is a nice touch screen , a nice dash mod to mount it and the ability to pipe any number of different stuff into it , but I fear it doesn't exist

My wife has parking sensors on her car and still hit a bollard and scratched her bumper. I was in the passenger seat at the time and said 'did you not hear the sensors going off - she said 'yes' go figure So I had Chipsaway around last weekend to repair it. To be fair she is a good driver so I put it down to a blonde moment and shut up, even though she is a brunette

With the imminent arrival of my Defender and with this in mind I thought it may be a good idea to get rear and front sensors, and maybe a camera too Has anyone fitted a parking system to their Defender and can recommend a descent not too complicated to install system? They seem to vary in price from quite expensive to really cheap and I am usually a great believer in 'you get what you pay for' but I also don't want to pay more than I have to.

Thanks in advance.

There are several threads on sensors and reversing cameras on here already

This is my biggest concern, there is obviously a big blind spot behind, just reversing out of the garage is worry enough with my own kids, and neighbours kids who scoot up and down the path. I have to back onto the path to close my garage doors and you can't see them coming with high hedges. It will also make hitching and reversing into tight spots in supermarkets easier

I must be doing something wrong then because when I looked I got 238 threads. What do I need to do just to get the several?

When you type in what you're searching for make sure you click the "Search for all terms" button to get closer results. By doing that, then if you're searching for reversing camera then the search facility will only bring back a result if the topic contains both words. If you leave "Search for any terms or use query as entered" selected then it will return all topics that contain just the word reversing, and all that just contain the word camera - hence a couple hundred results.

Of course it does - you want a head unit with the screen that comes out (touch of course) a good one comes with inputs (two possibly more) - Job done.

Land Rover have a parking sensor in their accessory catalogue-they call it a Tow Bar.

Yeh mse,

Thought about that route but kept coming up with fixed screens that wouldn't fit in the single height stereo slot , and were limited to 1 or 2 inputs , closest to what I want so far though.

Cheers
