DGTEC D.I.Y Car Reversing Camera Kit Clearance $29.
Spotted at Chatswood Chase Kmart.
At the electronics section.
Cheap for local stock, but not wireless so will need to drill or find a way to wire.
Not sure if nationwide. Comment below if you find at other stores.
12/1: Now $19
Good price for local stock. Do we think its the same as this one?

Imo its worth the extra $$ to be able to return it if it turns out to be junk.
i saw an opened box one a few days ago. looks the same
I dont think that ebay one comes with a camera but the kmart one does
Yeh, the Kmart/DGTEC one comes with a camera and a drill bit as well. This should show you what's in the box. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DGTEC-Car-Reverse-Camera-/1115611…
Thx op for the deal :) Any chance you could post the barcode on the box? So i can check which stores have stock
Sorry I didn't buy it. Not a fan of drilling into my car, prefer the wireless option. You should be able to pull a barcode from the second photo in this ebay listing http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DGTEC-Car-Reverse-Camera-/1115611…
Hey no Npz.Yeh thats true gotta reroute all the wiring through the roof and stuff. Yup I got the barcode now its 9341102649614 for anyone that needs it also :)

Not sure if this one has the same issue.
It adds noticeable vibrations to the rear view mirror, guess its because of how the mirror is constructed.
I found it quite annoying, so I removed it. It was installed in a Mazda 2 Sedan.
I have tried a few ones which add bluetooth or maps or rear view which has this issue.
My dad has a similar rear view mirror screen from DX and it suffers the same issue, I think it's because it's not very securely attached and thus magnifies the vibration of the rear view mirror.
I agree.
I doubt these use a different mounting mechanism. It is probably just using the spring clamping system for mounting, which doesn't seem to hold it tight enough to avoid any of the vibrations.
I have tried a similar rear view mirror attached screen. IMO, don't waste your money on it due to the glare during daytime. I now have one with a dedicated screen and it has a much better image because it isn't reflective like the one in this deal. Due to the reflective surface, it reduces the usability of the reversing screen.
This is the one I bought from eBay: item 350576919411
It is a thinner design than the first one I got which had the screen as part of the reflective surface. It vibrates a lot less as a result.
You will still need to get a separate reverse camera and I would recommend getting one that replaces the number plate light to avoid drilling.
I agree with Amts about the glare problem on the mirror covered lcd displays. Mine only works in under covered areas. A friend who paid Ford $500 or so for one has similar problems. Also the guide lines in mine are difficult to use.
$88 is a bit steep for the alternative but I will keep my eye out for one and then bin what I have.
Digtec usually import low end gear.
There are 3 buttons behind the mirror to adjust the brightness, contrast and colour saturation. Factory settings are at 50% for all 3. I've turned mine up to 100% for all settings and it looks OK.
Drilling? No thanks.
Bought one this morning and mounted it. Ran the wiring above the roof lining and down the pillar into the boot and out a gromit. I didnt drill the hole for the camera. Instead I siliconed it next to the number plate lights. Its ok cept not so good in a dark carpark. The mirror vibrates but I siliconed that to the cars mirror and it seems to have fixed that issue.
This is on my towing poobox car so for $29 cant really complain.
$19 now.
Hmm time to buy another one and return it using the old receipt.
in Brisbane at Toombul, chermside and Toowong
Altona North Kmart also has this. My brother bought one for my Mum's car.
