Bird's eye view on GX4H

[angelica02]

Hi! does anyone know if the 2016 GX4H has a birds eye view when reversing?
thanks

 

[Oscarman]

Yes it does.
Shows birds eye view adjacent to Rear camera view.

Yep, and despite being dubious it is actually bloody good!

yeah, i agree.

 

[Ollycat]

Yes, saw it on my test drive last weekend - suitably impressed!

Is it available on 64 please (MY 2014)?

I don't see how as you need the wing mirrors with the built in cameras, software to control them plus a different wiring loom

I think it is but it needs to be the GX4Hs or GX5H variants.

There is a thread on here somewhere for a retrofit using a different head-unit also >> https://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3894&p=46725&hilit=retrofit+camera#p46725

I would imagine it would be fairly easy to retrofit using genuine parts also, the feed to the MMCS would still be a single video input so add the extra three cameras and the box of tricks that stitches the images together...

Not sure these variants existed in 2014 when I bought mine.

Just had a good look around... the 4hs & 5hs were available in 2014 but I cannot find one with 360 degree cameras.
Looks like it was only introduced for the facelift version with the newer head unit. Definitely a feature I want in my next car though.

I think this came in with the 2016 facelift. My 65 plate (UK) GX4H is a 2016 model year and has it. It is very useful.
The only thing I'd change is to leave the 360 view on for a bit after to changing to forward gear so you have it for thet last bit of parking without pressing the button on the wheel.

I'm sure this is way to late for the OP but for future reference you can get aftermarket 360° /birdseye cameras that just have a 'RCA' video output. I fit one in my car and just ran the signal to a clip over rear view mirror screen.

Doubles as a 360° dash cam / crash recorder as well.

There are a few types on eBay but the one I specifically got was the same as this

Pretty good but in all honesty I don't use it much, I think mostly because the screen I connected it to is too small.
