Hi all,

I have joined the forum with the hope to get some help for my plan to add front camera to my new Kadjar (got last week).
After some search I found 2 possible options that could work for me as DIY:
1- wireless based cameras, for example this wireless camera on amazon
2- wired cameras like this one on amazon

My 2 questions:
In case of wireless what would be the easiest source/option to feed the camera with power?
When I looked at the engine bay I could net see any accessble cables (attachement) and I want to avoid difficult disassemble of parts in the engine room.

Second if I go for the wired option and think to use the car cigarette lighter, how to get the cable from the engine side to the cabin inside?

Any other DIY options are welcome

I really appreciate your answers!

Thanks

Regards

Ria

Hi!

I am also looking to install a forward facing camera. Had a look at some that fit inside the front logo, which are wired. I don't want to add an extra or seperate screen, so would have to find a way to link it with the R-Link.
Does anyone know if it is possible?

Such possible option, which is not cheap, has been already mentioned In this contributions

I think it could make more sense if the chosen second monitor provides more options to be used not only for the front camera.

Hi Ria Unless you have a masters degree in R- Links I would not try wiring a front camera into it
as it might end up costing more to correct it than the camera

So agree with others I would put in a separate screen OR maybe consider just fitting normal audible sensors
