How did you guys get the bottom tabs to line up with the holes on the dynavin?
When i bend them flat the head unit just flops around and tilts up

anyone?

Dynavin N6 install -Pics!

Yes but when they're not centred they can give a false representation of where your car is vs the guidelines.

See this pic from mine; you can just see the top of the tow ball which helps with distance, but in terms of width, the guidelines are not centred.

If someone got in the car who wasn't familiar with that, they could be forgiven to backing the corner closest to the street into objects as the guidelines indicate the car will clear.

This is using the license plate bulb camera that came with the N6.

Yeah, I hear you......and your example there is about as extreme as Ive seen. That camera has a surprisingly narrow field of view.....doesn't look wide angle at all....you would be better off with no guide lines at all.

Generally Ive not seen ANY guidelines that I would really trust anyway, including on OEM setups. In my personal car I played around with some boxes to see how accurate things were and adjusted the camera to get its as close as possible, but still when things get that close its time for eyes and mirrors.

Yep, looks like his camera is only 120 degree angle- pretty narrow view. I've seen pretty good wide angle (170+ degrees) cameras on ebay for cheap.

That's the camera Jeff used to sell (?) with the N6.

Works fine - I've got PDC so it's really just an extra precaution.
