Volvo XC60 2011 T5 Rear camera installation

[dave3134xx]

It has no space for a screen display but replacing the rear view mirror with a special one that displays the rear view is also problematic because it would stop city safe from working. There are clip-on rear view mirror rear camera options but I'm concerned the clips might also interfere with city safe and the dealer said they were problematic and move around. (I get the car in one week's time)

See link for clip on option.

The dealer says the car's rain sensors also make it difficult but the default setting is "off" and I'm happy not to use them. Are they really a problem then? The dealer actually sells new Volkswagen's and doesn't even know much about Volvo's (I'm buying second hand from the dealer).

I still want city safe to work.

I have heard wireless has improved recently but still not as good. I want a really good quality system that works consistently in darkness and when raining etc.

Please advise on my best options and costs involved. I live in Melbourne Australia

Thanks.

Hi Dave.

Not sure how the clip on will interfere with the City Safety and the radar is compressed against the windscreen. The only way I think it would interfere if there was a object/dust in front of the radar.

Your device is simply clipping over the current mirror. I have a dashcam that I have placed right next to the radar on the windscreen (suction cup) and I have inter grated the power cable wiring behind the mirror through the roof lining as not to have wirings hanging from the dashcam onto the dashboard and I have had no problems with the City Safety and rain sensor

Let me know if you came right.
