Question Bumblebee Question

http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...roducts_id=439

http://www.europeanautosource.com/pr...roducts_id=162

if i have an aftermarket navigation unit (GARMIN StreetPilot 7200) with a composite video input (3.5mm) with backup camera specifications, can i install any of these two?

i already have video converter (RCA to RCA/S-video) and a 3.5mm to RCA composite video cable. so if these come with the RCA for video, will it work?


[camera]----rca---->[rca-rca converter female/female]<----rca----3.5mm---->[garmin]

As long as you have an RCA input - you can use any of the cameras.

Cable is approximately 10-12 feet. Instructions are included.

hi Tom,

i just got my bumblebee and i cannot figure out how to activate the mirror image. i spliced the green wire and attached it to the black wire where both meet the brown negative wire for the reverse lights, and at a random location on the black wire too. neither ways work

What are you using for a video module?

That would be all that is needed - the mirror image is preset from factory. Is yours not displaying this way?

The camera image is fixed, it cannot be flipped - it should be mirror image like looking in your rearview mirror.
