Well, I received an email from Jason. He states that "this will fit the Golf". He is trying to charge me $48 USD for the reverse camera that I orderd, the one above. Can anyone tell me what they typically charge for the reverse camera....seems he is jacking up the price to make me accept the flimsy one he sent me.

About that much. Cams are cheaper on ebay, thats just how it is. They are not a cam maker but a reseller.Originally Posted by schultp
My cam similar to that works great.

That is about the right price, the boot handle one is more expensive. Not sure if there are cheaper eBay ones (there probably are) but at least the ones Audiosources uses are of good quality.
Just sent one out then but still no firmware for older V versions, been on their case but they are very busy at this point in time. I will keep pushing to get it ASAP. For everyone else, consider it my xmas present to you all

So I paid $25 for the flimsy universal camera. My purchase invoice clearly states Golf Camera. I am thinking to be fair I will pay the difference but ask them to pay the shipping. I'll return the universal camera if they pay shipping as well. Does this sound reasonable since it was their error? Technically, they gave me an agreement that states $25 for a Golf Camera so I guess I could stand my ground and insist that they honor their agreement. But, I just want the proper camera...thoughts?

My thoughts are you got a reasonable camera for $25. My one is called a Golf camera too BUT its not a boot handle type. They cost $100's.
Put it in and be happy if it works

Just applied the new FW update.
Improvements in iPod are good.
You can now browse Album, Artist, Genre, Composer (!) and Songs.
Once playing back you get long names displayed.
Sometimes the track/album/artist names don't refresh but it's a massive step forward.
iPod browsing stops at top level; ie you can now select an Artist or Genre, but you can't then choose an Album within an artist, it just treats all the songs as a flat list and proceeds to play the first one. Would be nice to choose an album as well as play the whole lot.
Similarly with USB/SD you now get a similar set of playback info as new iPod (Track, Album, Artist), except that the track name is in fact the file name rather than the ID3 tag track name.
The browsing experience is not the same as iPod but is OK.
Browse timeout has been removed completely which is a massive improvement.
Still no RANDOM/SHUFFLE on iPod.
Still no PLAYLIST on iPod.
Still no quick way of navigating up or down a list quickly, just one page at a time.
Still drops '0's from iPod playack times.
No changes to radio functionality, ie RDS station name only shown on preset button.
No change in MFD functionality, ie still basically nothing.
Not tried Phone or BT audio yet.
Everything seems quicker, though I can't see the RVC appearance speed increase.
Overall a good step forward but still needs a few things tidied up before it's fisnished.

I don't like the quality of the Universal camera. It is very flimsy. I also like the OEM look of the boot handle camera. I hope they respond and I can get them to work with me on this. The OEM boot handle camera is over $100. The chinese product is at about $30 shipped if you buy from Aliexpress.com - Online Shopping for Electronics, Fashion, Home & Garden, Toys & Sports, Automobiles from China.. But, I don't know the variability in quality form the various manufacturers. I'd like to stick with audiosource on this one since Sandy has worked with them closely and indicated their boot handle camera is of decent quality.My thoughts are you got a reasonable camera for $25. My one is called a Golf camera too BUT its not a boot handle type. They cost $100's.

If I find the time, I'll post a pic of the universal camera...it really isn't much at all.

I tried to have my son watch a DVD while I was driving last night. Got to the DVD menu screen but when we tried to play the movie we got a "PROHIBIT" displayed along the top of the screen and it would not play. I am assuming this is a security feature so the driver doesn't get distracted?? Is there a way to override this, I have no interest in viewing my young son's videos and it would be nice to have this distraction for him while we are on a longer driving trip. I understand the safety angle but would like to know if there is a possibility to override...or am I simply not operating things properly to begin with??
