Defender DVR?
#11
So I pulled off the front/rear bumpers on the weekend, to remove the silver pieces for painting. Those inserts definitely were not designed with removal in mind... Anyway, sore fingers aside, I got some pictures of the camera connectors and the camera unit itself. It looks like there is only a simple coax wire that goes into the camera, and I don't see a separate wire for power.
The other line going into the camera below is water for the washer unit (its the rear camera). The only electrical connection going into the camera itself is via that coax connector. Is the camera module passive and doesn't need power? or is power delivered on the same wires it uses for the signal? This might end up being quite simple if it's just a passive analog signal.

Any idea where the camera controller module is? Tracking down the manufacturer for some technical info would seem the only hope.

I guess you mean #3 is the Pivi Pro control module? Looks like the NFSM only has 4 connectors going in, is one of those connectors all 4 of the camera coax cables in one?

the large connector on the left is for all of the proximity and wade sensors. The large connector in the middle is where the four coax cables are. The CAD drawing simplifies the cable harness and so in reality you would probably see the 4 cables going into the back of the red connector.

Yes! 100%
Has anyone managed to fix this. Dash cam is somewhat pointless unless you can have the side views as typically it’s the doors that get dinged and scraped.
