That is slightly worse than the $400 alternative then!So... can someone confirm or deny if we can connect a NTSC camera?←Any video signal that is put into the ICC screen has to be NTSC...However the problem lies in the fact that 95% of all camera's weather they be PAL or NTSC output video as a COMPOSITE signal. The ICC needs an RGB + Sync signal.This is easy to get from a xbox, dvd player, or PC. Not so easy from a camera.You can get convert boxes that go from Composite PAL to RGB + Sync NTSC but this is where the dollars come into it I think they are in the ball park of $400...

Going from the rear view mirror to the ICC would probably take a little more getting used to.I am quite happy with the location of mine on the visor, I would just have gone with a slightly larger screen if I had my way again.

Buy an in dash DVD Player / TV, with 7 inch screen, and camera, and input for anything else for around $400 - only problem is that it doesnt look as built in as using the standard screen.

The cost of that option... I suspect... priceless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is getting a video signal onto the ICC screen. I will have to see if I can get a camera in the right format, or I might just use touch parking for the trailer.
