Reverse camera with oem integration

What are people buying for an aftermarket camera (front and rear but not 360) option? Something that integrates with the oem screen and has the lines and Easy to install as a DIY.

I installed a backup cam from carsgadget.com.
They have a front cam as well but I didn’t buy it. Install was relatively simple.

This thread is asking about options for front and rear cams. Your thread wants step by step instructions on installation for front and rear cams. When I purchased my rear cam from carsgadgets they sent over instructions.

And i asked you for a link to the camera you bought but you never bothered to respond to that! All you said was Aliexpress and that is an ocean. The forum is about helping each other and not keeping your ideas/sources/knowledge to yourself and get all your questions answered from others here. Feel free to contribute rather than being a grandfather and giving your unwanted opinion on threads.

Ok bought one from them. Let's see how easy the install is or else I may have to bug you for directions. Any tips/suggestions to make the install easy?

Its been a while since I installed. Most of the wires are easy to tuck under door molding. I remember removing the trunk handle part being a little tricky. Just give yourself time for the install. Took me about 2 hours if I remember correctly. Could prob do it in 45 a second time.

Oh grow up if you even made minimum effort to type even keywords in AliExpress like Mercedes W205 camera you'd find all the options you need, idk about you but I don't get everything fed to me on a silver plate, so save the whining, I didn't give you a link cause I din't buy one yet, cause surprise surprise I didn't get help about the instructions and I'm not recommending someone something I didn't use or test, but unlike some people I didn't ***** abt it.

Well.. animated enthusiasm..

1. Remember for system compatibility - in addition to Audio 20/COMMAND - and/or Screen Size - and/or Scrren Resolution - have "early" W205's thru US 17's, then 18 was a cross-over year, followed by 18+

2. A China "kit" for example Rear Trunk Handle w/Camera (fixed camera) - wiring to Camera - Video Interface - Front System Harness - "most" will be about $250 - not some off-the-cuff low ball nonsense like $150 quoted by trash talker WaliF

3. If you're not comfortable tearing apart your cabin and front dash - then find a shop to do the job - and YES that's costs more since a qualified shop will want to use the gear they can get from a US source for tech support and backup warranty for the gear - and YES it is a labor job - in my area about $700 all-in-installed

Yes that is why I am sticking with cargadget (eve though they are also China based) as a few members have bought it and said good things. I am quite handy when it comes to working on cars as long as it doesn't involve anything engine related. What I meant by an easy DIY is if it involved tapping into any fuses or running wires from the cabin to the engine or if it was a straight forward wiring.

Do you know if this needs to be coded after install or ready to go?
