Wireless Reversing Camera

Post by Whatwouldgordondo » Tue May 12, 2020 4:31 pm

Simple to fit wireless reversing camera that connects to the Garmin satnav

With us having a Thule storage box on a bike rack on the back of Gordon the Bongo it made the rear view mirror no use at all so this Garmin BC40 wireless reversing camera is perfect, it runs off 2x AA batteries that so far have lasted 3 months

If you would like to see a video of it fitted and working here is the link - https://youtu.be/THqpfLNmhQE

How does it know you are reversing?
GPS?

There is a camera button on the satnav all the time so you just press it and it turns the camera on

No wires at all, it has a dedicated camera button on the satnav screen at all times you just press it and the camera turns on

"No wires at all, it has a dedicated camera button on the satnav screen at all times you just press it and the camera turns on"
That actually makes it more convenient. Hmm, I'll recommend this to my brother.
