Review/Install of NAV-TV Backup Camera.

[level42]

So, this give you access to the Rear backup camera only, right? This doesn't give you A/V port to use something else, (E.g a DVD player or game system) right?

Are you familiar with this: https://navtv.com/product/237/avsw.html?forceShowProduct=1

Do you know if this will work on the NAV-TV system you bought to allow full A/V signals from other devices?

Does this camera bend the graphic overlay as the steering wheel is turned?

The one I did does backup camera only.
You can add A/V module but it is about another $500.00.

The Fiesta does not have A/V inputs so that switcher will not work by itself.

Do you know what module I would need to add? And can I add the module without having to buy the backup camera module?

No
But it is a wide enough view so there is no issue.

I meant like this photo, not the camera moving. This shows you your intended travel and is definitely more "natural".

 

[D1JL]

I know what you meant.
The answer is still no.

That feature may be added to the '17 FiST when all cars get backup cameras.

Do you know if the LockPick would work for the FiST?
It is not listed on their site.

LockPick seems to be cheaper compared to Nav-TV

I am sorry but I don't work for these companies.
I can only tell you that the one that I have does work.

I sent them an email about my FiST. Seems like a better price than the other company. I will post up their reply.

thx for the thread. I called a local shop and ask if they can install a backup camera for my 15 fiesta st. they called me a day later and told me they could do it. I didn't ask what they were going to do, solely relying on their expertise.

I picked the car today and the parts they bought is indeed NAV-TV, lol. they must have researched this thread. total damage $740, including parts and labor. i thought it was fair.

the camera works great.

lastly, my guy did tell me that if i bring my car to Ford for a regular tune up and Ford happen to upgrade the Mytouch firmware, it might mess up the programming. but he says just bring the car in and they will reprogram it, take 5 to 10 minutes.

Hi all, I'm new here with a 2015 Fist. Looking into a backup cam, because I'm just too used to it in my other vehicle, and turning my head is all of sudden a hassle (of course turning never bothered me before). Anyway, thanks to the OP for the write up. Looks like the NAV-TV will work which is good news, but $500 + $250 (unit + camera) is ALOT, so did some checking. I messaged the seller back and forth about one he's selling on ebay which actually seems to be the same unit, except he was sure his wouldn't work with the 6.5" screen in the FiST for some reason:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/291308188794?_trksid=p2055359.m2763.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

So went looking for a promo code on the NAV-TV unit (NTV-KIT456), and came across the same unit on Autotoys for $365 minus another $25 with code SAVE25 = $340 total!:

http://www.autotoys.com/x/product.php?productid=31698

So I just ordered it. For the camera, I'm ordering this one off Amazon for $28:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RD1IE4I...TF8&colid=3OKQRXU84XYFP&coliid=I10NIDPVRWWKT6

This one seems to actually be better quality compared to the $250 NAV-TV unit. I assume it will still work! Probably it should since it's just power + RCA plug? Anyway, if it works, I plan to post a little write up in a new thread once I figure it out (will reference back to this one as well).

Can't wait to see the result!

I ordered the same unit from Autotoys. If you go on amazon and search for this product by SKU number, its $399.00 + free shipping, and it comes with a camera. I ordered a camera that attaches to the license plate. I plan on drilling my hole behind the license plate. This camera was recommended by Autotoys. $74.00 with free shipping.

Nice! I didn't see that one on AMZN. Mine should arrive from Autotoys on Wed (got the camera from amzn already), so plan to install next weekend.

 

[chimp1000]

How did you guys made out with the Amazon/Autotoys kit ????

 

[westcoaST]

I've had back problems until recently, so nothing has been installed. By next weekend I should be able to get started on my installs.
