Hi Folks - My scenario - Reversing into a tight/ dark garage (yeah, I know get a light!) but, has anyone found a decent (quick, prefer not massive spend) reversing aid system to put on my maser ?? - I have seen a camera, which looks okay - but it needs to wire into the dashboard screen ... Is this doable, has anytone tried with success ??

Or is it drill holes in the bumber time with audible alarm option only ..

As per, thanks for any/ all advice.

Paul.

I would put the audiable one in only. The holes could be measured off any 4200 with them fitted

Here's an easier one - tie a tennis ball on a piece of string, position in the right spot, and when said sting moves, stop!

I have sensors on my GS but its a tight squeeze in the garage so I need to keep going after the beeps are on full time. The above does the job nicely!

You can always fit the Electromagnetic type which doesn't require drilling holes.
I bought one but I haven't got around to fitting it yet as I'm a bit lazy about removing he bumper.
here are some links.

I also have a reversing camera attached to the bottom of the rear numberplate. It is a wireless camera which is powered by the reversing lights and the screen/reciever I have inside the storage compartment behind and between the seats in the spyder. No good for a coupe but i see you also have a Spyder. I think i got mine from Maplin's for about £40. Its not brilliant but can help in the mornings when you cant see out of the rear screen, Mine is a 52 plate with the plastic screen.
I don't think that you will be able to connect a camera ouput into the screen on the 4200, there is no aux video in unfortunately.
