Toyota Estima Sony XAV-AX200, Front Camera, Blaupunkt Overhead Monitor and HP Dual Dash Cam Install

 

A dear friend of mine dropped by and asked us to sort out his wife's Toyota Estima ACR50 (Or Previa in some countries). It was previously installed with an aftermarket system, but apparently it did not stand the test of time.

 

So we set about discussing on what he wanted installed. Overall, he is a pretty practical person and just wanted a decent system that is easy to use and not too expensive.

 

A DVD capable head unit is still important as he needs to play DVD's for the kids. Being able to have Waze & Spotify on the head unit would be a bonus and would score some brownie points with his other half. We also decided to add a front camera since the Sony natively supports it, so why not right.

 

As for the overhead monitors, he was fine with whatever that works decently as his previous unit was busted. Ha also decided on the dash cam since the car never had one, so we went for the HP Dual Dash Cam which is seriously bang for the buck. The built-in features is just amazing at its price point.

 

We opted for:

1. Sony XAV-AX200 Head Unit

2. Blaupunkt ROME 900RM Overhead Monitor - https://www.fasmoto.com/blaupunkt/blaupunkt-rome-900rm

3. HP F870X with RC3 Rear Dash Cam - https://www.fasmoto.com/hp/hp-f870x-rc3-16gb-dashcam

4. Kennon OU-1103D Front Camera - https://www.fasmoto.com/kennon/kennon-ou-1103dy
