Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just picked up an 03 S with PCM / nav. Will the central screen I have support a back up camera? If not, what are my choice for mounting the viewer: replace nav unit, rear view mirror option, take a child with me to watch where I back up?

POST 2Original post

Using my mirrors and rear window usually works.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thx. I guess.

POST 4Original post

I don't think it can be done with the PCM How much money were you planning to spend ? The only way I can think of is to install a double DIN unit (the original PCM is not that great anyway)

POST 5Original post

It can be done with PCM 2.1, but you have to get it coded with a PIWIS to accept the AV input.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After checking with the dealer who referred me to Custom Sounds they said it can be done with this: NAV-TV Corporation: Audio and Video Interfaces Still have to get a camera to go with the system.
