Hi,

 

Does anybody know of a hack that would reverse the image displayed on my rear camera? Ive tried searching for it throughout the forums but i cant find what im looking for.

 

Everything that is displayed on my rear camera is basically in reverse, so something on the left side shows on the right side of the screen, and vice versa.

 

Also there arent any original stock options to fix the problem (there is just camera on/off and polarity).

 

Are there any hacks or mods or something to flip the image around? Its a big problem for me and it sorta defeats the purpose of having vision behind your car if you have to judge whats on the screen and flip it around in your head to know what's behind you.

 

Thanks alot guys

Polarity setting is to flip the image...

Thanks for your input but the polarity setting only has 2 options: Battery or GNP

 

It's on battery at the moment and that is the correct setting im assuming, because when i put it on GNP, the rear camera would show up on my screen when i put the car into any gear EXCEPT reverse, whereas Battery doesn't do that.

 

Any other ideas? ANYTHING to flip this image around??

 

Thanks in advance everyone

I love this forum

I know when i had one just off the camera there was a wire with 2 pins and a jumper and you left the jumper out to reverse the image, as far as i know there is no software way instead you have to have a camera physically possible to reverse.

hmmm ok ill see if my camera has the same thing or something similar

 

but so does anybody else know of any other modification to fix this problem??

What kind of camera is it? some of the cams have a plug you can pull out and it will reverse the picture. That is what I did and it works fine.

Sorry i can't find a better link of the camera ive got.

 

I bought all my sound system from a wholesaler over here in Sydney and so all i can do is type in the model number of the camera i have and this is the only link i found:

 

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CL-CMOS-333-Butt ... dZViewItem

 

At the moment its ridiculous because if anything, my camera will cause more accidents at the back rather than prevent them. Everything is the wrong way around (reverse) :(

 

Please help

thanks heaps
