Have a look here www.rcd330.com
I bought the flip camera and its a great bit of kit. Got this hooked in to my RCD330 and works a treat
Cheers

Here ya go fella..
I love how small and discreet it is... picture quality is brilliant.. im just trying to sort out a flicker issue when engine has been started.. but I think I know why that is, I also need 1 of these..

Sorry to bring up an old post! About to install the same reverse camera. Did you remove the bumper and cut away the plastic bumper bracket that covers the whole in the bumper between the two number plate lights?
Cheers! Will

I did for mine back in July 21-
But 1.5 years later it is still not hooked it it up! :ashamed:
I need to remove my sub enclosure, that is a complete pita to do! - and wire into the loom, need to find that how to thread on here that identifies the reverse wire.

Ah shame, was going to ask how it was! So you had the bumper off, cut off the plastic bumper bracket, then fed the cable though the grommet into the boot?
Have found a few useful videos on the wiring once in the car, just trying to figure out the easiest/best way to get the cables into the boot!
So glad I found this thread though, was going to get one that replaces the number plate light but this is a much better idea, and never knew there was already a hole between the number plate lights!
Cheers! Will

That is exactly the route - I used a grommet and some silicone to seal up the penetration.
There was a post with a picture of the view from down there -unsure if it was in this thread - but it looked good
