custom FLIR real thermal imaging Night Vision on g35 (would work on any car)

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: ►►► Flir Night Vision 007licenseplate.com/nightvision/ ◄◄◄

I actually though about selling this night vision as a "whole kit" but the problem is its really hard to find these cadillac night vision cameras. I think there were only like 5,000 of them put on cadillacs.

haha its funny that you say that, because I tried doing it to a 7" after market china gps and was unable to do it. Not sure if the stock g35 navi has video input, if it does then yes you could do it

I've had in on the car for about 2 months now and I've see animals running across the road probably 50 times already but you can't see them at all through the windshield. pretty neat, could def save you from hitting a deer if you live in the country

Simpy by adding width and heights attributes to the code, just add < and > to beginning and end of the code of course

iframe width="430" height="700" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rlOyXU5XFf0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen

PS. you will need to mess around the the numbers a bit till you get what you want
