What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Arnie]

Two washable mats- one for the van, one for the house. Thin enough to allow the drawer to open. Question is, which looks better in the van? (House less important)

I like both mats but more importantly the bin. Out of stock with John Lewis but found them on Amazon. Thanks!

Hi Wogga,
Blackvue DR750-2CH LTE
All up and running when driving and automatically goes into parking mode when switching off the ignition.
Front Camera - windscreen on passenger side of rear view mirror.
Rear Camera - top centre of rear screen in tailgate.
Power Magic Pro - in fuse box right hand side of steering wheel.
Took the guys at at Sat Nav Systems about 4.5 hours!! but very neat job. Note the rear camera cable is not long enough out of the box, they fitted an extension.
Cloud connectivity is working and has a live view function which is cool.
Only issue I have at the moment is Wi-Fi connectivity for getting into some of the settings menus. Trying to resolve at the moment.

I too got the dash cam out of the box today to set it up in the donor van ( actually it was my TT) Garmin 56. Working great. Bought a suction mount to perform the trial positions. Will pair to a mini in the rear. The garmin set up allows 4 feeds if you want into the recording app so could be adding an internal shot to give video footage for adventure films ! Very interested in the fuse connection into rhs of steering wheel GGD did you see your installation open this up and piggyback into the right fuses ? Rear camera connects via WiFi to front no cables

Brilliant step by step guide for installing a front and rear dashcam by @willwander in the following post

Jobs for lockdown - Hardwiring a Dash Cam

With a little more enforced time on my hands, I am looking for van related jobs to keep me occupied and thinking of tidying up our dash cam by hardwiring it in rather than having an unsightly wire that has to be plugged into a 12v socket. I know there are various threads on this, but to be...

It's tough - they're both good - I think mine is a marginal vote for toadstools

Can I ask where you got them from and what size they are? I've been looking for similar.

Is this the bin - looking for something with a lid on it because of the dogs !

OK so here’s the camera installation.
I’m afraid it’s not easy to see exactly where they’ve wired the Power Magic Pro but you just need to find a permanent live, a switched live, and an earth. Hope that helps.

BTW the thing above the front camera is my Liber-T tag for French toll roads.

And here’s my solar install. Dual panels on the roof. Charges leisure and starter batteries. Also went for the remote display on the panel above the fridge, which I think fits well. Probably never look at it, but in for a penny ......

Here’s my full width slide out tray (710 deep version)

And lastly here’s the extra kitchen drawers.

 

[StevenZhang]

Inka seat cover, like it!

Love the orange cushions - harks back to the earlier days of VW T2 Bay colours and nice contrast to the grey and pastels of the stock upholstery
