Reverse Camera Installation in Cardiff
Yes, we install reverse cameras, also called reversing or parking cameras, on cars, vans and motorhomes in Cardiff, with parking guidelines to help you judge every manoeuvre. Wherever possible we connect the camera to your existing factory screen, so it switches on automatically the moment you select reverse. No screen? We can add a modern multimedia unit or a mirror monitor. Every cable is hidden and nothing is cut.
Your Options
- Use your factory screen – we integrate the camera with your original infotainment screen, so it looks and works like a factory-fitted option.
- Add a new screen – upgrade to a multimedia unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and get a reverse camera in the same job.
- Parking guidelines – on-screen lines show your path and distance so you can reverse accurately.
- Parking sensors – add colour-coded sensors that beep as you get closer to an obstacle.
- Front cameras – protect low bumpers and splitters with a front parking camera.
Perfect for Vans, Motorhomes and New Drivers
Vans and motorhomes have huge blind spots and often no rear window at all, so a reverse camera makes every car park and driveway far less stressful. For new drivers, a camera with guidelines plus parking sensors builds confidence fast. See our learner driver safety upgrade with colour-coded sensors and a reverse camera.
Reverse Camera Retrofits for Prestige Cars
Many prestige and performance cars were sold without a reversing camera, or only offered one as an expensive factory option. In most cases we can retrofit one so it works through the car’s own screen and switches on automatically in reverse, just as if it had been ordered from new.
We even carry out camera work for dealerships. This Porsche Macan came to us from the Porsche dealer for front and rear parking cameras connected through Porsche’s own camera input, and this BMW i3 gained a rear camera alongside Apple CarPlay integrated into BMW iDrive.
Why Reverse Cameras?
A reverse camera is a small, wide-angle camera mounted at the back of your vehicle. When you select reverse, the picture appears automatically on your screen, so you can see exactly what is behind you. With parking guidelines on the screen, you can judge your path and distance and reverse accurately every time.
Eliminate Blind Spots
Mirrors and turning your head only show you so much, especially in a van, a motorhome or a car with thick rear pillars. A reverse camera shows the area directly behind you, including low posts, kerbs and small children you could not otherwise see. Add parking sensors and you get an audible warning too.

Reverse Camera FAQs
Can you connect a reverse camera to my factory screen?
On many vehicles, yes. We use vehicle-specific interfaces so the camera appears on your original screen when you select reverse. Tell us your make, model and year and we will confirm.
Can you add parking guidelines?
Yes. Guidelines on the screen show your path and distance, making it easier to reverse into tight spaces.
Can you fit a reverse camera to a van or motorhome?
Yes. We fit reverse cameras to all vehicle types, including vans, motorhomes and minibuses.
How long does fitting take?
It depends on your vehicle. We will confirm the timing when you book.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on your vehicle and the option you choose. Call us on 029 2070 7275 or send us your make and model for a free quote.
Can you add a reversing camera to a CarPlay or Android Auto screen?
Yes. Most of the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto screens we fit have a camera input, so a reversing camera can be added at the same time. The screen switches to the camera view automatically when you select reverse.
Can you fit a front camera as well?
Yes. A front camera helps with low walls, kerbs and tight parking spaces, and on many vehicles it can be shown on the same screen as the rear camera. Ask us about your vehicle and we will tell you what is possible.
