The problem with my wolf box is that in the Grenadier you have to mount the camera to the top of the rear window in the bigger swing out door. The housing that you screw the camera into has a tendency over time to become loose due to the opening and shutting of that rear door. You then have to retighten the screws which is no big deal, but annoying and there must be a better way to mount that camera. I have a WB 200

I have the G900.

It is a great product but a few minor (i think) upgrade changes.

  • Better wire management. Possible out the back of the unit.
  • Memory card location. Any spot is better than on top. Out the back would even be better. My mirror is as far up as possible and accessing the card requires me to move the mirror. Or use a paper clip to eject it.
  • Factory mount. While the 67 Designs solution is nice, I am sure other potential customers might decide against because of the price. Rubber straps are fine for those that are wondering.
  • Rear camera extension wire. Maybe it is already available, and I didn't notice it but if I ran the camera wire from front to back having an extra 5 feet would make install easier maybe.
  • Shorter GPS wire. My GPS antenace is attached to the back of the mirror. I do not see it and it works but the coil of wire could be a pain.
  • Instead of a mirror how about a monitor with camera connections. This way users can keep their mirror but still have a bigger screen.

Extremely happy with the product.
Thank you sir, some of these were mentioned by others. Noted!

Hi, as others have said wire management out the back vice the top, wifi pop up is annoying. would like a second camera option or on the rear camera that could flip to interior view for when the pups are riding in the back. The 67 design mount is great but it's almost as much as the mirror.
The wifi pop up will solved in next firmware update. We have a 3-channel dash cam, X5, which has a cabin cam.

I am planning to have a G900 Pro installed on a Quartermaster using the 67 Designs base. With the canvas cover mounted, when driving forward rear view relies on the side mirrors which may provide very limited rear view in heavy rain. Installation of the Wolfbox rear camera is likely to require some drilling next to the factory rear camera (on the rear bumber below the EU sized number plate, camera view will be impaired by the trailer hitch; on the bumber above the number plate the camera might interfere with the tailgate opening depending on the exact measurements of the new rear camera model that comes with the G900 Pro package).

The issue is, there is almost zero likelihood that some guy in some shop has ever seen a Grenadier before, let alone knows that and where pre-installed Int 1 or 2 cables run etc., let alone has access to a wiring plan etc. In some YT video it looks like a 30 minute job - but then, there are more than one wiring recommendations arguably not all of which are ideal.

- I am still looking for a shop in Germany, ideally greater Munich area that has already wired a Wolfbox in a Grenadier, any recommendation or hint would be greatly appreciated? Will be happy to share my experience afterwards.

- Wouldn’t it be helpful generally to have one authorative installation guide, why not by Wolfbox (who could add disclaimers if deemed necessary)?
This might work for you, with slight modification to your plate.

900 Pro still not available in Australia so I haven’t ordered the 900 yet.
I figure there’s no point ordering the old version yet if the better version is “imminent”……….

Biggest “reason for not buying” I have to get my head around is not being able to toggle between two rear cameras - one in the grenny and one at the back of the van.

Wondering if you could install a second wolfbox camera on the van and the swap cameras via a cable switch somehow?

Otherwise others are suggesting Safety Dave might be an option…..
The 900 Pro should by available on our AU website in March.

You can buy an additional rear cam to mount it on your van. Either do the plug-in and out, or DIY a switch panel.

See if this helps

G900 Pro Installation Video! Definitely Helps!

3M adhesive may help

Thank you very much for this, I did indeed order the extended kit that includes the plate bracket. Will need to wait for delivery though to take actual measurements - quite possibly the bracket will not be wide enough for EU sized number plates, and when using the bracket there might not be enough distance above the camera for the tailgate to open. (If the camera obstructs the view on the number plate, this would be a regulatory offense and making modifications to the number plate could even be a criminal offense in Germany.)

Thank you very much for this, this is indeed the video I was referring to. While I do find it very helpful, for someone who has never worked on a Grenadier before it might not replace a written, illustrated step-by-step installation guide (e.g., I believe it shows the opened roof panel but not how to open it). Users could have an English language installation guide translated into any of their native languages, easily and at their own risk.
