    ABs_GT got a reaction from Keethos in GT86 Reverse Camera Kit   
    Install links and images for Fensport Rear View Camera Kit
    I've been looking for ages for easy install instructions as my Fensport Kit didn't come with any and everyone online seems to have a different kit with and without harnesses. So here are a few links to videos I used when installing mine. Not all of every video is relevant, but at least all the links are in one place here.
    1. Check Head Unit receives signal when reverse is engaged.
    Both my brother's and my cars had this already working. Follow this video to access the service menu of the HU. In "General" (I think - have a play - you'll find it) you'll see reverse as "No". Engage reverse (engine doesn't have to be on) and this will change to yes. GREAT!! If this doesn't happen for you, two of the videos below show how to add one wire to inform the HU when reverse is engaged.
    Ok so the video doesnt show English headings, but it's essentially the 'navigation volume'...also I think it's more the rate of taps and not the actual number...not sure...but it's easy enough to access. 
    2. HU removal and plugging harness into HU - note these videos show tapping etc but the Fensport kit didn't any
     
    The video above I found really useful as he installs the exact same camera harness as Fensport into a set up with SatNav, so if you've already got Sat Nav OEM fitted, it's a useful heads up.

    ABs_GT got a reaction from Ztox in Valenti reverse/fog light   
    Thank you!!!
    my brother and I plan to undo everything we've done, and repair any tapped wires.
    im going to canabalise the stock light as I chopped of the pin for the blue wire as per mod bargains video. So I'll replace that with some solder and shrink wrap. Just got to follow those instructions to get the inside of the lights working again!
    thanks for the reply guys. I'll let you know how the 'fixing' goes. Cheers!

    Not sure about the bumper light loom on the car, sorry.
    It seems like you're trying to achieve what I've got, I followed this guide http://www.86forums.com.au/index.php?/topic/1634-valenti-reversing-light-v-as-position-light-mod/ where I changed the wiring inside and then the extra red wire just went into the headlights/position wire on the tail lights, think it was the blue one as you say (can check by following the red wire of the car loom through the plugs.
    This gives me just the V on with the headlights, and the fog and reverse working normally. I have no fog flashing at all.

    My brother and I took the plunge today. When we get round to fitting them in a few weeks I'll post some notes if we incur any difficulties.
    Generally speaking I find the edits on YouTube remove a shed load of expletives and all the episodes of manic frustration lol

    Hey guys. This is my first post despite having my GT86 for over 3 years.
    I totally agree that the upper rear brake light is an eyesore!! I'm running Valenti tail lights and the Valenti bumper light wired so the triangle operates as a brake light too.
    Looking into the Intec option...it's not E marked, so is it legal on UK roads? If it's not legal, are there any alternatives with OEM plugs for simple connectivity?

    I didn't check for CE mark but the Amber supplied Intec unit is very good. 
    I'm sure my engine popping shortly after fitting it was coincidence...
