    Question micra "lanewatch" how possible is it ?

    Also owning a 2015 honda fit with "lanewatch" i have easily become addicted to not turning my head to the right to change lanes, there is a camera below the RH sideview mirror.

    SO soliciting opinions on how easy it will be to run a wire from a manual (micra s) RH sideview mirror into the interior ?

    metro ?...anyone?

    2015 Micra S (manual)
    no A/C /no power options/ block heater/4x 2 Ohm speakers...all factory stock in 2015

    9,999 purchase price + tax..no additional 1600$ because it was a 2015 purchased in 2016
    so receipt says $8,399....+1600 .... so they look good i guess...for a brand new car!

    I can't view ebay at work, but I assume its to an auction for a video camera (and hopefully a screen). This isn't that hard to do, and I've seen a few different people do it before.

    Here is one such example:

    Running a wire should be easy. Is there not already a flexible conduit going from the body to the door? Is there anything electrical in the door of the S? (Light?) I honestly forget.

    So i bought this about 12 CAD, its a DIRECT snap in fit for the original reverse light, and it look EXACTLY the same except it doesn't say NISSAN (no markings actually)


    Details about CMOS Rear View Reverse Camera fit for 08-14 March High Quality
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/141676893203...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    bit of bother fishing wire to follow OEM reverse light wiring, loosen passenger rear interior carpet panel, but its possible to fish it from bumper to boot, cut slit on boot for video wire, then just tuck wires around trim panels, around/under rear seat , then under sill panels and have video at glovebox, pretty easy, no wires showing, maybe 2 hr job.

    more to come!

    The link to the camera on ebay is dead... I bought this one from AliExpress:

    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...847627360.html

    The photo show black plastic, but the one I received is all clear plastic...
