Rear view mirror dash cam on a DB9

[Loft in Spain]

As per the title, has anyone fitted one of these into a DB9, specifically a volante.

I'm looking at getting one that straps over the existing rear view mirror, with a dual cam to provide a reversing camera facility too.

My only worry is the roof is very close the the mirror when closed and some of these units look quite big.

Also, the wiring to the rear camera, is it straight forward finding a path for it?

Has anyone done it?

Thanks

Aston Installations does dash cams and have done rear-view mirror displays. They're the best in the business.

I wonder if they'd like a short break in Spain 😉

Here's how to do it on a Vantage:

I would recommend doing the whole mirror as shown in that example, much more elegent than a "strap on".

They've been over to the Netherlands and the US so quite possibly. My DBS from NL is currently in the UK with them.

Lol, maybe I should ask.

I'd love to have their full camera kit installed, but I bet it's not cheap.

One thing I learned meanwhile:

one should best buy a camera which allows the adjustment of the distance lines (which are displayed in the view image).
Otherwise it may be that the Aston's width is not taken car of with a non-adjustable camera,
i.e. the lines appear too narrow and one can't use them properly for targeting a parking gap.

However, as the feature is included in the camera, it's not such a big thing to fix.
