Interesting project Vadimus. This set work in my MMCS? As the MMCS includes reference lines, can be deleted from your camera? You can share a close up picture of your sensors? I would like to see the fitment in relation with Out body once installed. What about the PQ of the camera?

I'll in touch

Thanks Jorge

There is a way to disable lines from camera. On MMCS, with its adjustable lines, picture should look great.

I'll post the close-up pics of sensors later.

As for the picture quality I am totally satisfied. Even more, I like it more comparing to factory installed camera on 2012 Outlander of my friends.

Yo're welcome, your projects are great. I ordered the camera because I like the OEM look, I will wait to buy the sensors to see how them is fitted in your Outie

Saludos. . .

Here are the sensors.
They are pretty standard 22mm ultrasonic sensors used on most aftermarket parking aids.








Installation is easy. Remove spare tire, both fogs/side marker and optionally right tail light.

The sensor fitment convinced me, now only need to know if I can paint it to match the body color with my Out, I appreciate your time to take and share photos And no doubt, the camera looks just like the OEM camera. . .

So I finished the install on this about a month ago. Well starting Monday, I've had to jumpstart my car every morning. I thought the battery was bad, but the Mitsu dealer told me there is a 1 amp draw on the battery when I turn it off causing it to drain overnight. They asked me if I had any aftermarket things wired to a power source and I told them about the mirror. After a couple hours of investigation they hadn't figured out where the draw was coming from, but said they think it's coming from the taillights. They suggested it could be the mirror improperly wired. I do have the camera wired to the white and black wires of the tail light to only power on when the reverse lights are on. The power for the mirror itself comes from the dome light with the signal coming from the same white reverse light mirror.

Do you think this could be related? Any way to test for sure?

In the meantime they have me pulling the Ignition Off Draw fuse when I park the car for long periods.

Vadimus, about ultrasonic sensors, the unit of measure displayed on the screen is configurable (centimeters or inches) or not? Thank's

It's a meter scale, so 0.7 means 70 centimeters.
