Technical Running a cable from back to front of Bravo

Okay. If it was for a Reverse Camera for example, The way Im going to do it, Is run the wire from the headunit and come from under the glove box area, Then simply tuck the wires under the door sills and continue all the way down the car, when you come near the boot put the rear seats down and remove the boot mat and run the wires under the mat..

Yeah it will be for the camera,I was just thinking of how abouts to do it, you brought the camera that fits up under edge by the number plate?
I want to see what the camera and number plate holders look like if it's huge and bulky or discreet within reason?

Yeah I got the one that fits above the number plate, the way I was thinking of doing it Ive already ran the wires (AV Cable) Down my car.

Im going to drill One hole above the number plate, Run the Connector wires from the Camera though the Hole and screw the Camera onto the Bumper above the number plate. Its quite a easy job to do just haven't had the time since the weather has been abit bad.

To be honest the camera isnt all to big, Maybe the size of a 50p coin. As for the power supply you would need to connect one of the wires to a 12V power source I would connect mines to the reverse light.

I will be connecting it that way, didnt see any other way. You would also need to remove the black bumper trim which is inside the boot so that you can run the wires though to the camera.
 
That's cool not big at all,with regards to the connection to reverse light a company selling reverse cameras supply these clips to connect to the cable is this how you would have done it?

Personally I would of used insulation tape Or even solider the Wires together.

Yeah its pretty Good, Overall the sound quality is the same, have noticed that its a lot louder than the standard fiat bravo head unit.

As for the Satnav which came pre installed on the Micro SD card was pretty lame, So I updated it and Installed the latest version of Igo Prim 2.4 which is amazing, it has 3D view and runs a lot smoother.

The only con I could see with this head unit was:

Suppose I didnt want to use the reverse camera no matter what if I was to go into reverse gear it would switch the headunit to camera mode, and come out of reverse mode when you change gear. Can be abit annoying when listening to music since your music will stop too.

I've dropped off grid lately, i did mean to do a video but been really busy.

You can disable that mate. Go into settings, it'll still make your screen black but you can turn off "mute when reversing" that did my head in. I also turned off the annoying beep, turned on bluetooth auto connect.

Have to agree, it's alot louder than the standard HU.
