PeterJMC Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hey guys. One of the members over at PriusChat.com modified his rear camera to activate when the turn signals are activated. The rear camera allows him to see cars behind him and part of the cars as they sit in the drivers blind spot. This should not be a replacement to looking over your shoulder to verify but something neat to have for whatever situation you might need. I figure that those with a LCD and rear camera display could rig up something similar. http://priuschat.com/threads/how-about-blind-spot-monitor.92734/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 ...One of the members over at PriusChat.com... Don't know why but that made me I've got a DVD player hooked up to my stock nav through the video input on the back. If I had a camera hooked up to it though it would do that as well, just push the info button twice and you'd be able to see it on the screen, so it's definitely doable!

Unicorn piss actually, much like e85, actually requires more fuel so that won't work. How do I know? v <------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A better suggestion IMO would be to inflate the tires to 75 PSI [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

PeterJMC Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 .... A better suggestion IMO would be to inflate the tires to 75 PSI That gives me an idea... I should run with donuts on all four corners. The contact patch is extremely small... and you run them at 60 PSI I wonder what kind of MPG I'll be scoring with that setup? Probably 89MPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chutrain Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Back on topic briefly, but if you set up your mirrors correctly you can eliminate essentially all blind spots. Just as good as what is suggested above, and you are not distracted by a little screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 I agree and support mirror adjustments. anyone want to try and hook this up in a scoobie doobue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 there's a navi thread that has a walkthrough for rear camera installion that is activated by putting the car into reverse. I bet it wouldn't be too difficult to tie that into the turn signal(s) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
