To follow up on this thread - Is it possible to fit a camera to the rear of the caravan which can then connect into the D4 for giving a picture on the monitor when reversing the caravan?
We have the surround camera system as well as the tow assist and hitch assist BUT most accidental dings to the van are 'gained' when reversing the outfit. LR Discovery 4 XS pulling an Airstream 532 Caravan also own (since new) a 1996 MGF

do you have a reversing camera at the moment ...if yes ..single or surround cams ? G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

I am adding a digital camera to the rear of my trailer and using one of the front cam inputs to view it
Unfortunatly i cannot find any sort of splitter for the camera HSD leads ...so i have the option of leaving it connected to one of the front camera inputs all the time ...or just swap the plug when im towing .
You could even plug it into the reversing camera input ..as this will generate the yellow lines on the rear also .
Have tested it all ..and its all working ..just need to run some cables now G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

that's right wiggs, but i'm talkin about the brown one, i think that the brown one is a coax, the others, i mean the five at the right, starting in white, blue, green black and ending in pink, this are not coax cables.
maybe my previous post needs this:
"the surround system control box pictured up only jumper AND TRANSFORM rear camera input SIGNAL to the coaxial output SIGNAL..."
sorry. i don't want to confuse
if i'm wrong please tell me, i'm planning all my video inputs trough this cable as i dont want to install anything at the back of the screen or need to push a code to enter any secret menu. i want it simple. maybe i suppose that is a usual coax signal and it doesn't?
wiggs, from where do you pick signal in this video? http://www.youtube.com/user/wiggsdisco#p/a/u/1/2rTxezHKrUY
im planning to make too the touch screen mod as seen in youtube too, but when warranty expires, at this moment, only fast plug in plug out mods...

Yes the brown is the feed to the screen .
Youtube video is the brown coax signal taken from the camera module to the small screen shown in the video
Have you got surround cameras fitted or a standard rear cam ? G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

This sounds very interesting  After all the cars reversing camera is not needed when hitched up - so the swap idea seems a brilliant solution 
Please keep me in formed when you have completed it as I would love to purchase such an item PLUS I am also interested in some of the other things that be activated on the XS  LR Discovery 4 XS pulling an Airstream 532 Caravan also own (since new) a 1996 MGF
