Did they have to remove the seats and center console? I just saw a video on YouTube removing the head unit. Not sure I want a camera that badly.
Also, is this separate from your other post regarding the infotainment center upgrade that allows for videos?
Thanks!

Did not remove the seats neither the center console. I was afraid of all that disassembling but it all went just great. Was simpler than I expected.

Yes, totally separe thing. The video allowing gadget you just need to plug in your USB. The good thing is you can just unplug it and take it to your other car, whenever you want.

It's a location block. I turned on my VPN to a AUS server and the website opens just fine.

It doesn't seem to be a plug and play solution. I don't know. Those connectors looks like nothing the ones I've seen on original car wires.

I’ve sent them a query with exactly what I want to do, will report back with response.

I just noticed that this option is to add a camera to an Everest that already has touring pack, hence why there doesn’t appear to be additional modules etc. I’ll wait and see what their reply is.

Confirmed, the Polaris setup won’t work unless the wiring is already there for an extra camera (via the touring pack installed from factory).

Back to the drawing board… need to find an Australian supplier of the Brazilian product posted by our good friend Renato.

I can try helping you out with that.

When I was considering to buy this front camera interface I had to contact the manufacturer because their website said it only worked with 2024 Ranger models and my car is already 2025 model. Their answer was that they haven't tested on 2025 model yet, so they could not assure it would work. I said I would be the guinea pig to that. After knowing it worked, I contacted them again to let them know it too. They got pretty excited with my feedback and thanked me a lot.

I can try contacting them once again and telling I now have an international beta tester. I guess they would be interested expanding their sales to a whole new country. If that's the case, probably they will make a direct sell to you.

In worst case scenario, I can personally send you one with no extra costs. You just pay for the interface + camera + shipping.

I would be interested depending on the total price.

Ok! I'll try contacting them tomorrow but I'm not sure they will answer me on the weekend. If not, on monday I give you a heads up.

Finally got the front camera on place. Here's a video on how it's working and how the front image is showing.

Where did you mount the camera? Could you post pics please?​

Sure! I haven't posted it yet because it's still in a temporary mount. I'm going to print a 3D piece so it can be fixed on my grill original mount points (for oem front camera).
