Still trying to decide which head unit to get before I look for cameras.
I've a short list of 3:

http://www.bassjunkies.com/audio/beat-beat-550

http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info ... ooth-1din/

Anyone got any thoughts or dealing with any of these companies?

Trying to decide whether the touch screen is worth it or more to go wrong, whether the bluetooth drains the battery too much when I've got Bluetooth on my Tomtom anyway, with the TV input I would probably need some kind of digital freeview box and really powerful arial (is it worth it?) So many thoughts going round my mind, when I should really be doing some marking seeing as school is closed!

Ah, thanks Colin, Dave - makes sense now :D

don't you think the camera isn't waterproof enough for outside then Colin?

Yes it is water proof and if I had a spoiler thats where I would have put, at first I thought I would try it inside to save running the wires outside just to see how it would cope with the tinted window which as it turns out was no problem, and believe me the actual result is far better than my pics show the colours are really vibrant, so all in all I am very pleased with the set up,
