67 designs is soon to release an adapter for the factory mirror mount to Wolfbox mirror. Their CEO has been keeping me updated on this - he sent an alpha/beta version of this mount to Brian at Goose Gear to test for him (since Sewell, their local Ineos dealer probably didn't want them removing the OEM mirror from a customer's vehicle). They have already received feedback from Brian on the fit and are making some last adjustments to the design. Have patience and stay tuned for some good news shortly.

Good news. I did buy all the other bits from eBay bummer that it sounds like they won’t fly due to 1/2mm tolerance difference

@Stu_Barnes Just wanted to tag you on this as I know you've been in communication with Wolfbox.

I'm local to 67 Designs if they need a test vehicle. Please PM me if they need one.

I only wanted it as a rear view mirror - not too interested in the parking camera feature so don't need permanent power. The feeds to the 10a switches are all live when ignition is on so good enough for me. If permanent power was wanted I suspect you could get it form the ecall unit which is mounted just above the roof switch console.

I would be inclined to avoid tapping into any electrical system connected to ADAS, air bags, emergency calls, or any other faintly related safety system. Even if only a small draw on the electrical circuit, there’s no saying what gremlins it might introduce.

I hope I didn't jump the gun by calling 67 Designs and leaving a message with my phone number just in case they need a test vehicle.

According to my measurement, the INEOS mounting ball is 16mm. But a standard 17mm mount will fit if you tighten the screw.
I purchased a 17mm mount and tried several mounting positions using the OEM Wolfbox mounting plate.
The original INEOS mirror has a decentralized attachment, the Wolfbox has a central one! The Wolfbox mirror would not fit if using the central mounting position.
So I cut out the Wolfbox mounting plate and placed the 17mm ball mount in a higher position with an aluminum support from the back (unfortunately I forgot to take a photo).
The black painted aluminum only serves as a cover.
...I know a seven-year-old could do it better, but hey! if it works ...

Bad news: some vibrations occur while driving. I used it as a normal mirror without a cable connected. It will probably be better with the cables.

Conclusion: Wolfbox gives us the simplest solution completely free of charge... by clamping the Wolfbox mirror over the INEOS mirror!

Is the ROW mirror connected to an arm that's directly mounted onto the windscreen? The NAS mirror arm protrudes from the ADAS camera housing.

at my 2022/23 built Grenadier is the arm directly mounted at the window.
Mounting base see picture. You can loosen the arm by turning anti clock wise.

I haven’t seen a rear camera mounting option I liked so I decided to mount it here for now. Wanted to share a picture

Nice location. Where did you run the camera wires? Did you have to drill into the door or used the wheel bracket existing locations?

Hi Tx
A couple of challenges I see with the location you have opted for:
How to deal with the camera if the spare is needed. Will this not add to the time taken to change a spare?
Been lower down than most locations, will you be more subject to dirt affecting the lens of the camera?

I’ll snap some pictures of the wires running through the back. I had a shop do it for me and you can’t really see the wires.

There really aren’t many good mounting options so I went with what had the most camera range and esthetically matched. There is extra cable to disconnect the mount and easily remove the tire cover. Not more than a few extra minutes to get the cover off. As far as the dirt, I haven’t taken it offroad yet but I’d imagine it’s the same as the existing one or the ones on my everyday vehicle that get dusty from time to time. I keep a microfiber cloth handy and just wipe them off when needed. I went with the G900 and liked the extra blind spot features and wide range view in both the front and back.

Installed today. Love it. I was concerned about routing the cable through the existing bundle enclosed in a rubber housing so came out through the plastic panel instead.

Asnes,

I wanted to hit you up with a couple questions. Which box did you end up getting and were any add-ons reaquired to accomodate the install? If so, what were they?

P.S. Is it a rear view and a front view camera? Rear is the one that the most help is needed. I giuess fron is for security?

Heya Rupert. This is the 900 version. Has front and rear camera. Front camera is indeed for security / documentation if you are in a collision. The ADAS box in the front cuts off some of the screen. It will also record both cameras when the car is parked / off if you wire to both ACC and Batt+.

The most important add-on is 30' rear camera cable if you plan to mount inside top of door. I had some additional length but I don't think the 20' cable that comes with wolf would have worked. For now, I have it strapped to the regular mirror. I have some ball adapter parts on order to see if I can completely replace the default mirror for a tighter install.

Camera is very clear and actually allows you to see what's behind you. I still use the default camera when reversing / parking, it doesn't really replace that.

I was puttering around taking my time today on the install so it took several hours, but I am nit picky and it had to be just right . I pulled a number of panels and trim to route the wires.

Hope that helps.

Which fuse panel and #'s did you end up using?

How did you pull the A pillar covers off? I ran my camera feed along the passenger (right) side ceiling, but I ran the power on the driver's side down that A pillar to the ignition fuse panel. Routing that cable without removing was no easy task.

A pillar comes off by removing 1 torx screw under the cap and then a gentle pull to release the clips.

I can confirm the NAS mirror ball is 16mm. I got the multipack of ball adapters someone posted the other day and this one fits the stalk.

The mount it comes with doesn't quite angle as far over towards the driver as the stock mirror. Once the camera is running I'll have to see if I can deal with that.

I ordered these ball mount adapters from Amazon. Waiting until they arrive to install my 900

These are the ball adapters I got.

The angle limits with these adapters isnt bad, but If a more streamlined mount comes around like the one mentioned by 67designs I would probably give it a go.

The button on my mirror rattles like crazy so I'll need a fix for that.
