Installed the OEM reverse camera on my Ignis Zeta: Here's how

While it is a slightly costlier setup than what you can get at the Nexa accessory store or out-market, it saves the bumper from an unnecessary puncture and retains the OEM look and feel with it's neat installation.

I too own a Apr'23 Ignis Zeta BS6 and I have installed a rear camera after facing a lot of reluctance from the Nexa folks to install the camera at the OEM position.

I wanted the camera on the hatch instead of drilling the bumper and declined it at the time of car purchase when the showroom was offering it for free.

Somehow I failed to understand the reason why Nexa folks do not want to install the camera at the OEM location when

1. There is a cut-out for the camera on the hatch
2. The HU is the same as the Alpha and is compatible to support the camera
3. It is a simple plug and play installation.
4. The customer is willing to pay for the OEM parts and installation.

If you check the hatch, it has a slot or the camera that is covered with a dummy right beside the number plate lights. All we need to do is source the camera, the harness and the rest is a plug and play.

Please note that the out-market cameras require a camera activator to connect to the HU while the OEM camera doesn't need any such thing.

I sourced the camera and the harness form the following links and got the installation done at an accessory shop.

1. Ignis Alpha OEM Camera.
2. Ignis parking camera harness

While it is a slightly costlier setup than what you can get at the Nexa accessory store or out-market, it saves the bumper from an unnecessary puncture and retains the OEM look and feel with it's neat installation.

Hope this helps!
