It’s the AiM camera: https://www.aimshop.com/products/aim-mirror-reversing-camera-for-mx-series-pdm?pr_prod_strat=copurchase&pr_rec_id=933e20cea&pr_rec_pid=1602582970470&pr_ref_pid=4405161787494&pr_seq=uniform I’m not surprised at the Lotus response to the camera requests. AiM announced the MX2e for the Lotus Elise back around Jan/Feb 2020. My car was in build at that point, delivery due March 2020 and we all know what happened then🙄. As soon as I saw the unit advertised I contacted Lotus and asked it, Lotus responded by saying that it wasn’t a Lotus product and fitting it would affect my warranty in respect of anything connected to it😦. May 2020 arrived and my car was still locked inside Hethel half built and then Lotus announced that the AiM dash was now a fully supported product.. I contacted Jamie at B&C and he managed to get a unit to fit on my car pre delivery, the car was finally delivered June. I don’t think B&C had actually fitted one because I remember them ringing me and asking where I wanted the rear view camera fitting. Delivery of my car was late but I wouldn’t have purchased the AiM unit after delivery so it was a good thing in a way😄

Have a trawl through this thread, there is a way of having the word “on” and “off” light up lower down in the unit when the indicators are working, not ideal but at least it tells you the indicators are in action. I have no idea how you get it to do this but it is possible. I’m 6’1” and had trouble seeing the limit lights and indicators, I dropped the dash down in the binnacle which sorted the problem… I posted up on this thread about it so that may help?

I’ve finally found time to finish the repositioning of my AiM unit today. I’ve cast a plastic finisher for the top of the unit which can be seen here before replacing the binnacle, it fills the gap nicely and to be honest if you didn’t know you really couldn’t tell it’s not original. The picture below shows the final line of sight for me, as close as I can get anyway. I am 6’1” and the car is a Cup 250 so it has the carbon seats. I looked into raising the steering column but the top shroud is very close to the wheel boss and it would mean grinding some of this away, unless the wheel was extended towards the driver with an extension boss, extra cost and i don’t actually need it closer. Very happy with the finished position and look👍
