Mentioned this in the Reverse Cam thread...
My little cam has already just well and truly paid for itself when we were out 4wding on the weekend and having a bit of a play in a small quarry where I headed up over a short steep hill with a severe ramp over. Whilst all I could see blue sky as I went over, in clear view of the cam was a massive sawn off tree halfway across the track. Had I not of seen this, or one of the other lads have gone over first, serious damage could have occurred.
$37 well spent I'd say....2004 V6 Grande. BLACK -

Great idea Craig, must look at fitting one to mine for that exact reason, hill crests.Geoff
Im not Bogged - I've just lost traction. . . . . and now I'm showing the wife why I bought those Maxtrax, and the tyre deflator, and the compressor, and the bullbar, and the winch, and a lot of other goodies I've hidden in the Prado

I finally installed mine Craig..
I picked up one of those grille badge style cameras and installed it onto the front bar. Potentially it could get knocked around, but for less than $30 i'm willing to take the risk
It's also offset to the left but works fine..

G'day Craig
been thinking about one of these as an upgrade too the 2008 120 grande screen... what has been your experience with the headunit - spec'd up with front and back parking sensors the dvr unit, tire pressure sensors, front cam its about $1100.00
Suppose the first question is is it worth the upgrade from the standard grande to this Dig option unit - the other bits are addons!!

I have decided to take Brains advice and pick up the power feed for the cam off the Isolation switch I have on the Dash which goes back to the Control box, so when I want to view the cam I just flick the winch switch on the dash and select Aux on the Head Unit Menu and Voila!!
