Android Auto/Carplay + Reversing Camera fitted to 458 Spider
Discussion
Ever since getting my 458 a couple years ago I'd been looking at options for adding a rear view camera and had stumbled on finding someone in the UK to re-code the dash to recognise it.
Got talking to someone at a car meet who had a 458 with an Android Auto/Carplay kit fitted and after looking at their website noticed it had a camera input as well and could be used for the reversing camera.
Bought from Integrated Automotive with their generic OEM camera, but guessing its the same system offered by MySupercarExpert, etc.
Had it installed last week. Used it over the weekend travelling to Goodwood Festival of Speed and having Google Maps for nav on the screen rather than in a holder in the cup holder and the camera works perfectly, loading up even if I'm in the standard infotainment system.
Personally think the camera looks better tucked in between the numberplate lights than the factory camera install as well.
Thought I'd share as sure others looking for similar. Total cost was just over £2000 including fitting.
