Stupid reversing light

[Gene Hunt.]

What a pityful excuse for a reversing light. Had to go out last night and found it was useless when reversing up my drive and through the gates. It has the range and lighting power of my keyring torch 

Anyone know if the bulb holder is installed and wired on the other side and if so can it be activated without buggering up the light monitoring circuit?

............mk 5 one is the same.

I wish I had specced the reverse camera at purchase time as it would have cost £150, but as I have had it retro-fitted it has cost £350 however, it is a stunning piece of equipment and how I got by before having it is anyones guess.  Quite awesome to show your mates when they're in your car. Not quite as eseential for you Asker as you have parking sensors

I think this is an upgrade im going to have to save up for  I do keep feeling scared reversing into the drive/garage that someones left something in the way.

My front and rear sensors are very sensitive and show up distances on the RNS screen and the beeps emerge from the front and rear speakers inside the car depending on where the obstacle is situated . But I suppose actually seeing what's behind you is much, much better and safer. Worth £350? Probably.

A definite must have imo, SteveP did a great job with the wiring and mortygt140 fitted the whole thing for me both great guys,  Make sure you buy off Steve if you go for it.

^^^ Thanks Amanda 

I have the RVC and sensors, and when combined with the lastest firmware on the RNS gives a very cool and useful overlay of the optic sensors and the reversing image

Steve stop tempting me. You know I am weak.

Erm I don't appear to have the piccie of the car at the side of mine, does that matter?

Double check with Darren what firmware is on your RNS as it should do this with the 2660 firmware
