Back up camera
 

I posted this over at PH but don't expect much interest as all they talk about now is compensation....

While I wait to get my car fixed, I'm thinking of asking my dealer to fit the reversing camera I see on the configurator for other 911s (and now Cayman/Boxster). Parking sensors are too hard but the camera should mount neatly between the licence plate lights.

Anyone else done this or thinking of it?

Yeah, I’m interested. Did you find out if it will work with our PCM?

My dealer is confident it will - with some additional parts no doubt - as he knows aftermarket cameras being installed by a local shop can work with the latest PCM.

Cool - please keep us posted. Will be nice to have when using harness & Hans.

Yes it can be done aftermarket but they will have to open the radio to get an adapter to accept the camera so it works through the OEM screen. Opening the radio unit will void its warranty. I will get mine done once the car is released.

Here's an aftermarket camera install on a 991 GT3 done by the shop my dealer recommends.

I'm chasing a pic of the camera they are using.

Here's the story on their Facebook page.

We finally have the AIS rear view camera system for the 991 working flawlessly.
There were some software version differences discovered in the Porsche operating systems but we have now identified them all.
This is the picture on the screen of the new GT3.

holy crap...thats awesome.

Still chasing this. The dealer has sent the installer the wiring diagram for the 991 Turbo with optional camera to see if it will work. Meantime, I might check the other sections for more info.

I am amazed any of you would do any aftermarket "electrical" work. Nick has posted about all his electrical issues. He had an aftermarket radar detector and camera installed. Maybe that wasn't the cause but maybe it was. If I was Porsche I would nullify the warranty with some of this aftermarket stuff. Go ahead and let some amateur dabble with your electronics. Any yes, compared to the Porsche engineers they are rank amateurs. I hope you have no issues but if you do don't complain. The 2015's will have back up camera's. Why wouldn't you wait for that? If it can't be retro fitted then so be it. I've had too many issues with aftermarket botch jobs to do it again. Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me. Just my 2 cents.

I am getting mine installed today. And yes, Porsche will nullify my radio warranty. Will post pics later.

Work in progress
 

Will post results tonight, whether working or not. Sorry for the sideway orientation.

I certainly hope it's working, Sam! Looking forward to seeing the outcome. :thumbup:

Why is the camera located?

How do you know that the 2015 will have back up cameras?
