Hello Everyone:
I know there have been many threads on rear view cameras. But I was wondering if there are any plug and play cameras with the the interface with any new technology for the xj?
Any help or suggestions would be great, thanks

OK, since I did not get any responses from my post on cameras. I have looked on Nav tool for the interfaces and on ebay. Costs run from 260-450. Camera costs can vary from $35 to $200. Some camera even have 360 views. Anyone have suggestions on which is the best for our car for plug and play.? Or am I just hoping for p&p. It does not look hard but looks like you have to remove the front screen to have access. Is Nav Tool the best place to go?
thanks

I have 2 NavTool setups and have found them... a workable solution but not as easy as 'plug and play' to install. The one in my LR3 works 90% of the time (the 10% of the time it cycles to blue screen and comes back after powering the car off). The one on my Super V8 works perfectly every time. Technical support is not great, but they eventually answered my questions.

I would describe them as 'cut wire, strip wire, solder in new connections and play' but I do like how it's a very OEM-feel once the install is done. I ran the camera from the trunk lid, all the wiring for the NavTool is done on the left side of the trunk and there is no need to pull the front center console and Nav screens. Those are pluses.
