All in one/twoder? - Reverse/rear dash-cam front dash, video display aux headunit

    Hey folks,
    I'm looking for a solution for a 2013 Sprinter Van that will achieve the following:

    1) Reverse Camera (switches into view when reverse is engaged) and is angled downward from the roof
    2) Rear dash camera, angled backward to see traffic behind
    3) Front dash camera, typical wide angle
    4) Screen that will display reverse camera picture
    5) GPS in dash camera

    I'm also looking to replace the head unit from the stock one that will provide:

    6) Aux in for music
    7) Bluetooth for music

    So was thinking how can I achieve all this with minimum investment and the least amount of gadgets and wires working separately.


    This actually seems to tick a lot of boxes, but is so cheap it makes me wonder of it's quality and longevity:

    Also, I'm doubting the reverse/rear view camera is waterproof or the cable long enough to have it run 8-9m up and around to the back of the van.

    Then something like this to replace the head unit looks good, but this one is expensive:



    If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd really appreciate any input :)

    I've just watched this review on the above dash/reverse camera, and it looks pretty impressive with some great features like remote monitoring of what's happening at your vehicle. The price from gearbest and amazon in the video description is a good bit higher than the link above, so I'm kinda suspicious about ordering from the above site...

    Still considering this. Does anyone know, if you order from Amazon.co.uk and the seller ships it from outside of Europe, is there a chance you can still pay import duties, or does it work different when ordered through Amazon.co.uk?
