Anyone done this? It seems like a good upgrade.
There is someone on here who did it. He had some issues with the wiring as I recall. He lives near me, I'll try and find the link. here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/348-355-sponsored-bradan/442874-anyone-added-back-up-camera-their-348-355-a.html
I did it twice. First time with off the shelf camera and second time with the Ferrari infotainment system. If I was to do it now and I did not have the infotainment system I would use a Bluetooth camera. Many types available off the internet. Search Bluetooth cameras. I really like the built for Ferrari solution just because of the way it works.
This was the site I was looking at years ago they have come a long way. GPS Wireless Backup Camera Wifi iPhone Andriod for RV truck trailer 5th wheel Ferrari setup http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/attachments/348-355-sponsored-bradan/1963114d1412787974-new-ferrari-genuine-f355-infotainment-system-355-infotainment.pdf The only thing I did not like about it is the lights were blue. I changed all lights to blue on gauges,f1, windows, etc to match now it looks factory.
Ran mine from deck to bumper without issue, just patience running the main wire back. You can go down under centre console, then below carpet behind seat rails. I made a small hole beside ebrake cable, that exits through floor. Wire runs between floor and bottom pan, fastened with zip tie to brake cable , then goes up into engine compartment running high (hidden)down drivers side to bumper. From there, thread through and with a small hole, wire exits above licence plate. I recall I did this in reverse starting at plate and forward.
I was fine until I got used to them in other vehicles and now it's just a nice thing to have. Not really needed but that was not what the op asked.
With the top down, I can only see by the side mirrors & I like to see what is close, right behind me. Cameras really are a great improvement (on my newer cars). Thanks everyone for the inputs. They are really helping me. I will add one, but I'm still deciding which way to go.
