Finally I've got time for mounting the reverse camera:

Fitted to a
Pioneer stereo.
Surprised how well it works. Even in night and/or rain it is usable. During daytime it is brilliant.
Here is a picture taken when I reversed into my garage. The garage is actually darker than the image, so the camera is sensitive for light:

Now it is a bit snow here (15-20 cm), and a few minus degrees, so the Defa heater is just a god-sent thing at days like this. Nothing is better than start the day with a preheated coupe and engine
Just to plug in and forget:

I was a bit anxious about winterdriving performance, both for the car and for the tyres. So far it has done a pretty OK job, I have had cars who is worse, and have had better cars.
The ESP is doing a fine job, not choking the engine completely when it's activated. I have had cars with such bad ESP that I've had to disable it to manage to drive properly, but the Blingoline is doing good. So far :woop:

Still I wonder: How is it possible to make such a practical-oriented car with a zillion possible places to put a working holde for cups, but not one of them is really doing the job? Jeez! They must have been drinking some french red wine before they designed this interiour! And where to put all the stuff like driving chains, the detachable towbar, tools, first aid kit... Very dissapointed! Our former car, Opel Vectra, had loads of spaces for stuff like this.

Nope. £9000..... Or 90.000,- NOK! It's crazy amount of money. They have replaced engine hood, front lights, bumper, foglight surrounding, both wheel arc, and radiators..
