Reversing Camera - Retrofit

Steve Short · Mar 13th, 2019, 10:54

I have a 64 plate XC60 SE Lux D4 AWD and am looking at getting a reversing camera retrofit purely for use when hitching up to my caravan. I live in Warwickshire and would be wanting someone to supply and fit.
Have anyone on here had this done and roughly what was the cost, also any recommendations for suppliers would be gratefully received

I know you said supply & fit but I fitted a reversing camera to mine at the weekend.

Got the control module & camera from Aliexpress for £130 and fitted it myself using a combination of the official volvo instructions which you can find online and a youtube video which showed pretty much how to do everything.

Does everything the official volvo one does, parking lines move with steering, parking sensors still appear on screen, just at a fraction of the cost of what volvo want!

Worst part is removing the rear trim panels, every one sounds like they are going to break into pieces but they all come out and go back in fine.

Next task for mine is fitting the front camera which connects to the same control module.

Brilliant, thanks for this would you be able to send me a link to the camera please? i take it this would also work on a 64 Plate vehicle?

Mine is a 64 plate R-design NAV so should work but I think it requires you have the sensus system with the "globe" button on the centre console.

I bought this from Aliexpress :

Very similar systems are also available from UK suppliers on ebay also but tend to be more expensive.

YouTube video I used was the one below, it is not for the exact system I bought but is very, very similar.

Hope this helps.

I used the Volvotech CFE+ to fit front and rear cameras to my S60. Whilst it works well the Alienexpress kit looks good, does the same thing and is cheaper.
If you already have a CFE then go that way, if not the other kit seems the way to go.
