How difficult is it to fit a reversing camera kit ?
This is our most common question and also the most unfair as we have no idea of your skill set. Here are some questions you can ask yourself in order to assess your ability :
- Do you have decent tools ?
- Do you enjoy working on cars ?
- Can you remove dash trim pieces / panels ?
- Can you run a cable from the front to rear of a vehicle and possibly through a conduit that runs between the car body and tailgate ?
If your answer is YES, then this will be a good DIY job for you, if you have never done anything like this before then we would recommend you find your own professional installer.
Do you offer Installation Nationwide ?
No, we offer installation here at our premises in Glasgow only, however we do have Trade contacts throughout the UK who use our reversing camera kits and we would be happy to recommend them to you. Simply send us your postcode and a request of who is nearest to your location and we will pass on the contact details of your nearest installer. Please Note: We have no idea of their availability or how much they will charge to fit your kit.
How long is the warranty on your Reversing Camera Kits ?
We offer a 24 month warranty on everything that we supply and fit here at our premises in Glasgow and a 12 month warranty on kits purchased online through our website.
How long after purchase will my kit take to arrive ?
Most of our UK deliveries are ( next working day ) if you have ordered before 1 pm ( Monday – Friday ) International deliveries may take 2 to 3 days depending on where you are located and in the rare event of any courier or transport delays ( something which is out of our control )
Are your kits Genuine OEM or Aftermarket ?
All our kits are aftermarket ( designed and developed in house ) therefore no coding is required and they also have the ease of plug and play fitting. Our main focus and aim is to supply everything needed within the one convenient package from your interface and wiring to model specific tailgate cameras. Please browse our extensive range of Car and Van reversing camera kits.
I do not live in the UK do you sell Internationally ?
Yes, our website is set up to ship Worldwide.
Do you offer Technical Support ?
Yes, we offer Technical Support via the following methods: WhatsApp, SMS Text, Telephone and email. All kits also come supplied with a USB key which will have step by step fitting photos and information to help you install your kit and there is also a Technical Support PDF with all of our contact methods and information.
I am not in the car trade but think I could fit the kit myself, do you offer support or help should I need it ?
Please see our Technical Support Question.
What shipping method do you use ?
We use DPD for most of our UK shipments, however for Highlands and Islands within the UK we use Royal Mail and DHL. For our International Shipments we use DHL and occasionally for remote areas we will use UPS. We select the best service available at the point of dispatching your order, as prices and rates vary on a regular basis.
If I book my car into Empirical in Glasgow for kit fitting, how long will the installation take ?
To book an installation please call or email us as we do not take online bookings. We are usually booked 5 days in advance and installation time is usually 1 to 2 hours.
Can I wait while my reversing camera kit is installed to my car ?
Yes, you are more than welcome to stay at our premises while your installation takes place. If you would prefer to pass the time elsewhere such as having something to eat or doing some shopping, we have: Morrisons, Matalan, Starbucks, Costa, KFC and McDonald’s all within a 15 minute walk from our workshop location.
Does your reversing camera kit come with fitting instructions ?
All of our reversing camera kits are supplied with a USB Key full of step by step fitting photos, PDF Instructions, and Information to help you install your kit to your vehicle.
How similar is your kit to the factory fitted version ?
We do not get to see the factory fitted version, so it is up to you to do your own research regarding what the factory fitted kit offers and its cost and compare to our aftermarket kit. We show fitted photos of what the kit looks like on all of our listings for you to compare. Aftermarket cameras are generally a wider lens than the factory version, this will make the camera guidelines ( if applicable on your particular vehicle ) thinner than the width of the vehicle.
My Car / Van is still under warranty, will installing your kit affect this ?
Most of our kits are ‘Plug and Play’ with no cutting into any wiring looms, so warranty should not be affected in any way. Some kits may require 1 single wire to be connected to the reverse light wire at the rear lamp but this will do no damage to anything on your vehicle.
