Hello all,
I appologise for posting in English, but please feel free to answer 'auf Deutsch'.
As a follow-up to
a thread about 'Rûckfahrkameras' in the Marco Polo subforum I will give some details about a quality reversing camera of which I have 4 pieces available.
I was planning on installing a rearview camera under the chromed strip above the licence plate. I wanted the cam to be unnoticeable, therefor it needed to be as small as possible and at the same time have good night vision and good image quality.
I found such a camera, but it could only be ordered straight from the manufacturer in Taiwan. I needed 4 pieces for myself (1 rearview, 1 forward view and 2 sideviews), I have ordered a total of 20 pieces, also for people on a carputer forum. I have 4 camera's left of this batch. I would like to see if anyone is interested, before i throw them on ebay. I will part from these high quality cams at costprice, which unfortunately is not cheap at 97,- EUR
These were sourced directly at Misumi, Taiwan.

Details of the cam, isn't it lovely
Put into perspective, a 9V brick battery for reference. The blue box is just as tiny as the cam itself. It's easily hidden behind the rear door grip.
And the accessoires: long cable, nuts and bolts, screws, double sided adhesive tape...
Oh, in case you wonder why there's 3 wires: the green one switches normal/mirrored view.
