Americas Wolfbox is installed and it is very cool

@Cheshire cat @Krabby come on guys, we are adults here. I didn't ask about the girth just the length. I'm just seeing if people like the fit, or if the extra 2 inches makes a difference. Like when you are staring at it, does is seem bigger.

I did a Wolfbox 850 instal over the weekend and it is indeed cool. Still getting used to the sight "delay" between real live reflective side mirrors and the video feed, and judging distance is a whole new bizarre-o experience. Anyone else experience a slight learning curve with getting used to it?

I had my Wolfbox G850 installed today. It really solves all my problems with the rear visibility. I highly recommend it. I like it much better than I envisioned.

It is wired up to the overhead console and the rear camera wires are in the rear door and take the same path as the rear window wipers so everything is completely hidden and safe.

I am attaching a few photos as well as a few videos showing how it works. You can touch the screen and move the camera up and down for visibility. It also solves ALOT of the rear blind spot issues due to the very wide angle lens that shows three lanes of rear traffic and slightly to the sides of the Ineos.

The clarity on the screen is great!

I was trying to upload some videos and the files are too large even though they are only 12 seconds.

Love it

Strange how the mount can cost half as much as the whole Wolfbox unit.

Thanks for your very helpful post. The installation looks a very professional… does the rear view mirror look good as well. It is hard for me to see from the photos, Rather than strap the new mirror over the old one, can it simply replace the old one for a cleaner look? Thanks for the time in responding…

Where did you mount the rear camera? Do you have a photo?
Thanks!

Still have it? Interested. Did you find an alternative solution?

As per @FlyersFan76 response but further detail:
The purple/orange is 12v positive whilst in reverse. If you hook this up to the red lead coming from the Wolfbox reversing camera (you will need to extend it if coming through the rubber grommets of the back door) then the Wolfbox mirror changes view when in reverse to display the guide lines. There are a couple of caveats though: be careful of the exposed positive terminal as per the photo I posted above unless you have disconnected the earth leads on both batteries, the rear table (if fitted) is a pig to remount and really needs two people, lastly the filament lines of the rear demister should be avoided when positioning the rear camera as they should up as a blurred line across the image. The included double sided tape is also crap - use some 3m replacement instead.

Looking to install a Wolfbox and a secure phone mount. There was a very nice job posted on this Forum where the Wolfbox wires were threaded through the existing rubber conduit for the rear wiper and the camera was placed inside the rear window at the top. However, the Wolfbox screen was attached to the existing mirror using rubber ties which I didn't think looked great (and the rubber is bound to degrade over time especially with the heat). So I was looking at an adapter to swop out the existing mirror and mount the screen directly on to the Ineos mirror attachment/mount. The 67 Designs products look solid (if expensive) but Customer Service have told me that it's not compatible with my (late 2023) model. Has the configuration changed so much that the 67 Designs 2024 mounting plate won't work? I've seen people mentioning the Amazon adapter here but mainly as a more cost effective option. If the 67 Designs mounting plate won't work are there other options I can explore apart from the Amazon option? Also will the 67 Designs phone mount work with the 2023 model (waiting for a Customer Service response). Surely the configurations for both the rear view mirror and the centre console screen can't have changed in 6 months? Are 67 Designs just giving me a 'legal' response rather than a practical one?

I think it has to do with the ADAS system installed in the ROW model which I believe is the model that 67 designs made their mount for.

I installed my G900 this weekend. It was a pain, but it's done. Somehow my wife managed to fit the wire through the harness to the door, so it looks very clean.

But anyway, I thought about hooking up the red wire for the reverse mode. I don't really know what it does, but I thought about it. To this end, I thought there must be a wire that signals the existing rear view camera. Maybe not, but it seemed plausible. I tried checking those wires with a multimeter. A very important point here is that it turns out the width of the multimeter probes is wider than the pin spacing inside the stock rear camera connector.

So two things. First, if you blow the fuse for the rear camera, you will get 5 or 6 different warnings on the dash, none of which mention the camera, and the vehicle will not even turn over. It's one of the 7.5amp fuses under the rear seats.

Second, does anyone know what the wires on the stock rear camera are? I don't have a method of testing them that doesn't blow a fuse or involve stripping every wire.
