I am considering a Wolfbox Camera system. Mrs C is willing to buy me one for Christmas :-) But I admit to being technically incompetent. Does anyone know of an installer in Scotland?

Not sure if the deal in W/B, but aware they have worked on IGs...so Skidz in Falkirk would be worth a call

Tony - Have you had the wolfbox fitted? And if so, how is the workmanship?

I've got one at home but told STC I wanted you to be the guinea pig!

Oh thanks!! Yep. Fitted last Monday. Its all good. I cant specify cost as the invoice included a service. Total labour £594. 4.5 hours apparently. May be quicker niw they’ve done one.
Workmanship is fine. Camera mounted on the rear bumper. I hadn’t specified, but had assumed it would be at the top if the door.
Weird at first as it was set on forward view. Soon corrected. Then more weirdness as it was giving a true view rather than a mirror view! Now set up is complete, all is good.
No regrets. 👍

What was done on your second service and did they change door buttons as in recall ?

Basically filters: oil/ air/ hvac plus oil and brake fluid. No mention of door buttons. Had that problem initially, but it’s been fine for the last year or so.

Cool thank you! I live down a farm track so bumper mounted wouldn't work as the camera will be covered in mud/dust in no time. I'll speak to them about door mounting it when I go in next. Thanks.

Had a few teething issues.... BUT only when I plugged in my Ifor Williams GD85 for towing.. random switching between split view and forward view. Mind blowing and dangerous. Had to switch it off for my journey home - from Stirling to Kennacraig.

Wolfbox WERE FANTASTIC they are convinced the rear camera is faulty. and without hesitation have dispatched a replacement.

Interestingly, since the faults occurred - and subsequently arriving home, it is back to working perfectly. Even towing my other trailer.

Still happy, and pleased to have this piece of kit fitted (y)

I've fit a few of these Wolfbox's on Grenadiers now, I place the rear camera in the centre of the larger door at the top. I tend to take around 3-4 hours for the install as I won't allow more than a foot of wire to be free. I would highly recommend using the extended wire for the rear camera to the front though as you can fall short of a nice route by about 9 inches!

Let me know if I can help in any way. Or if anyone is interested in having the Wolfbox fitted (or plenty of other great accessories), I'm located in Carlisle just south of the border.

Thanks Tom,

Yesterday the system went mad again, defaulting to the forward camera. Not being technically minded, I am at a bit of a loss. I thought I had narrowed it down to a glitch with one of my trailers electronics. Apparently not. A replacement rear camera is on its way, so maybe I take Wolfboxes advice and get the rear camera replaced. Having paid for 4.5 hrs labour already to have this fitted, that is not an exciting prospect!

Anyway, I'm back on the mainland in a month or so....

Do you completely lose the ability to view the rear camera? If so, it seems like a defect in the feed line from the camera to the screen. If it has been trapped anywhere or the connector hasn't quite an ample grip, it could play havoc on the image being sent.
The rear camera only requires a "switch on feed" when you select reverse by piggybacking off the reverse light power. I can't imagine your trailer electrics getting involved too much.
Hopefully there is an easy resolution!

Its weird. (Not a technical term!) This morning it was working perfectly for about 2 miles. Then it switched to forward view. It wouldn’t reset, so I switched it off. After a stop off, it worked OKagain for a few miles. When in reverse it works, but the view is basically sky, rather than the usual rear view. Split screen came in for a while.
After another stop, it worked again, no issues - but it was only a short hop.

Heading home in an hour, we’ll see if it works this time.

I use "weird" so often, I'd like it to be technical terminology. Electrical gremlins are not a myth! I could have sworn I've seen one on a 4 day wiring fault back at Mercedes :ROFLMAO:
