I have a VW Amarok with a Kenwood KTC-D600E Head unit, would this camera be compatible? and how long is the cable?

Answer: 
hi,

if your car has a kenwood head unit then yes it would be compatible, however the KTC-D600E is a tv tuner, if you can get the radio model number we can double check but 99% of all kenwood screens take a reverse camera

I have a Carevelle with a Kenwood DNX525DAB. The rear view camera isn’t working. VW have checked the headunit and that’s working. How much would it cost to supply and fit new camera?

Answer: 
hi,

does your vehicle already have the CMOS230 fitted in it? usually installation of a reverse camera would depend on time spent installing the camera, if the camera you have is a kenwood you maybe able to fit a replacement onto the cabling you have to save money. i would recommend contacting the store you wish to visit for a quote.

HI I want to purchase a rear view camera possibly using internal mirror or existing Kenwood stereo, its a Shogun Sport 2004/2005. Please advise which is most suitable, using hardwired connection

Answer: 
Hi

If you have an aftermarket radio in your vehicle already i would suggest using that for your reverse camera display, almost all kenwood aftermarket screens will allow for a reverse camera, in regards to the camera's we would normally recommend either the CMOS230 or the Pioneer NDBC8 which are both hard wired camera's with great quality both at night and during the day. they are super reliable and fairly easy to install and root the cable through the vehicle.

You will also require a switched feed from the reverse light to tell the kenwood radio to switch the reverse camera input on when reversing.

We do also sell a reverse camera screen that attaches to the Rear View Mirror if required.

Thanks

Will this camera work with the factory head unit in the Kia Sorento 2005

Answer: 
Good afternoon
The Kenwood CMOS-230 Has a composite video output so if your factory Kia headunit has a camera input to display picture on its screen then yes it will work.
If it does then it still won't be a plug in option as the kia input will be different.
