Bought a FLIR night vision camera for a 99-03 Cadillac Deville, install a 5" monitor above my CD player and install the camera behind the grill. Awesome thing was I didn't have to drill a hole in the grill for the lens, it just happens so that when I installed the camera lens happened to be between the two horizontal fins on the grill and it can see between them without me having to mod the grill.

Cadillac camera is pretty expensive, usually sells for $800-1200 on ebay but I found one locally for $300. Be careful when buying the camera, there are 2 versions. 2nd gen version is smaller and better. 1st gen version had a bad seal and water would get in it and it would rust out all the electronics inside (don't buy). I've had four 2nd gen version cameras and they all worked fine.

Here is a video of the camera working: ►►► g35 Flir Night Vision ◄◄◄<br><br>

 

whats the point if it is not on a HUD?

 

cant see the video, cool idea though. What is it used for on the cadillac though??

 

VIDEO WORKS NOW: ►►► g35 Flir Night Vision ◄◄◄ You can install the 5" lcd right above your cluster and it would be like a HUD. And Cadillac used the camera as night vision on the Cadillac too. At night you can see up to 1/4 mile in front of you and anything with heat is pretty easy to spot look:<br><br>

 

video still not working lol

 

Video works for me, just allow quicktime to run. Interesting setup though

 

video worked for me when i first posted in this thread.

 

I drive with my headlights on at night so that's where my eyes are looking; not at a screen. Neat idea though but seems distracting more than anything.

 

DAMN! Ok I uploaded the video to youtube so it def works now: ►►► g35 Flir Night Vision ◄◄◄
