I went shopping, took a friends daughter to look at car stereos, it's not safe for me to do these things.
I saw (not the same but close) this thing above, and oooooooooooh I want one.
A usable screen size for my reverse camera, all the same stuff as I have, but better, I might be able to actually see the track title on the screen, oh well I'm going to have to put it on the list. :on2long:

Hey Roger.

You're right. I want one also.

Can the camera input be recorded ? Reason I ask is that I took a half hour video of my green Esprit with a video camera mounted on the rear of my red Esprit. So had the sound track of my exhaust but the video of the green one.

American cars are weight lifters. British cars are the athletes.

Will it extend correctly in the Esprit? I'd have thought it would hit the gearstick, that's what has put me off those sort before.

Camera input : My current set up only powers the camera when the car is in reverse, and there is no means to record it.
For filming I'm going to get a GoPro,

Comes highly recommended by Travis.

Esprit dash : yes the screen comes out horizontally, should clear the stick then raises upward.

In the Sport350 you need to be in 2nd or 4th to open the screen and that's on the factory option Alpine.
