Evening all, I'm am looking to put a reversing camera on my 2014 mk1 2008, and integrate it in to the existing touchscreen as I don't want to put another screen in the car. I have seen some camera interfaces on ali express and looking for recommendations, also not wanting to spend allot of money if I can help it

Hi. You can purchase carplay/android auto module such as Wireless Apple Carplay Android Auto For Peugeot Citroen SMEG MRN NAC 208 308 508 3008&C4 DS3 DS5 Support Reverse Camera - AliExpress . You have option of adding front and/or reverse cameras. Installed something similar 2 years ago and works great. You can read through this thread (1) Android Auto on a 2013 | Peugeot 2008 Forums (2008ownersclub.co.uk) for more information.

My car is 2014 Feline mistral and you should have the same recess under steering wheel. Yes, you will need to run reverse camera wires to the loom. I didn't know how to access the reverse light wiring so I bought £20 reversing camera and paid £150 to car shop to install it. That was most expensive part of install but I was probably over charged.

The settings on the module can be adjusted so that the reversing camera and the parking sensors will both be activated when reverse gear is engaged. There is a video on that post showing features of box.

I paid £155 for my box 2 years ago but for the same brand is more than £200. There are lots of brands that do the same thing but prices vary considerably. Just make sure you get one compatible with your smeg or nac headunit. The box is relatively easy to install as it is plug and play and you retain original peugeot headunit and controls.

Heya Jinkue12,

I have purchased the unit and Installed it today but I can't get the headunit to switch the the module, I have the call and list on one button on the SW and I have selected the relevant switch selection on the module switch selector (7 or 8 little switches) eg no1 in the "ON" position and the rest in off position. But sadly nothing when trying to turn on the unit. It is recieving power as the switch green light is on and when I press the list button on the SW I can hear a click from the module unit. Have you got any ideas ??


TIA

Owen

Hi. So my unit doesnt have the switches so I can only advise to set the buttons according to the instructions.

What happens when you try to switch between the units? Do you get a black screen? Have you got a sercure LVDS(display cable) connection and are they plugged in properly?

Nothing only, contact list or the radio stations list come us nothing to do with the module unit sadly

I have attached instructions similar module that may help. Did you check with seller the compatibility of unit with your headunit/car? You can email/message seller via aliexpress and they can help resolve issues.
