Greetings from Texas Y'all
I am a Junior Guy here with a bone stock '04 DTR.
I am upgrading some comfort and function stuff with the car and wanted to see if there is interest in a project thread. (Knowing the depth of expertise on this site, this could have been done a million times already.)
I'll be putting in a backup camera system with the video readout in a replacement rear view mirror. Taking pictures as I go and will be glad to post the progress to this Forum if there is interest. If there is interest, it will be a challenge in other ways as I have no idea how to attach pics etc. But what the heck, we'll figure it out.
I'm going camera as opposed to the round sonar bumper sensors for now. This could be a mistake, as I like the sensors and have experience with them in a different car. The reason is, I really don't want to change the stock look when I do any of my mods, and drilling holes in that rear cap seems sacreligious.
I'll feel like an idiot if the rear cap gets crunched because of no sensors, but we'll see what happens.
I'll be doing the work whenever a nice warm weekend presents itself. The work will be done in parallel with an Escape Head Unit upgrade and a Sat Unit install with the Sat gear having been provided by a new friend of mine, Mr. roylpita. Here's a plug for that guy, he has been great to do business with. Thanks, Mr. "Roy!"
The camera itself has already been installed and pics are available. Next, gotta take the interior apart and run a bunch of wires.
Let me know, if there is interest I'll get started posting.
