Well you’re in luck, as I have developed a precisely fitting mount for a standard wireless car reversing camera. The wireless camera kit costs about £20 on ebay, then you can duplicate the great rear camera system for the front, all without permanently modifying the car at all, so great for if you’re leasing the Leaf.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you don't have a 3D printer but would like one, please leave a comment :)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible vehicles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e2011-2017 Nissan Leaf ZE0\/AZE0\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eAlways compare with your original part before ordering.

You’ll also need a screen if your kit didn’t come with one, but I had one spare. I’m assuming you’ll be OK to connect this. Below are a few links, with examples with the camera and wireless kit, for reference, I don’t sell these, these are just a few examples of the same type.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCamera (square): http:\/\/www.ebay.co.uk\/itm\/170-CCD-Car-Front-Side-Camera-Vehicle-HD-Color-Waterproof-Reverse-Camera-Kit-\/271359072528?hash=item3f2e42d910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOR camera (round): http:\/\/www.ebay.co.uk\/itm\/291552705393 or http:\/\/www.ebay.co.uk\/itm\/231558568622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWireless kit:  \u003cbr\u003ehttp:\/\/www.ebay.co.uk\/itm\/Wireless-Kit-170-CCD-Car-Front-Side-Camera-HD-Color-Waterproof-Reverse-Camera-\/271691370299?hash=item3f42114f3b  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScreen (you may also wish to attach a car 12V connector to plug it in with): http:\/\/www.ebay.co.uk\/itm\/371230987620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3-4) Download the .STL file. I printed on the Hobbyking Fabrikator on 0.2mm layer with 10% infill using Craftware 1.11 beta with blue 1.75mm PLA filament , and it printed well. I suggest printing in the stock orientation, i.e. with one of the arms at the bottom, and this provides the best strength for the part (due to layer direction).  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5) I found the best support settings for craftware to be as shown in image 3. If you’re using other software then your mileage may vary. Printing takes about an hour for me, so you may want to look at further steps to prepare.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6-7) Protect the Leaf with some sticky tape, as whatever material you print with can easily scratch the car.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8) Once the print is finished remove all the support materials using pliers or a knife. Insert the camera’s cable through the hole at the back of the mount and then slide it into the mount, it should be a tight friction fit. Thread the cable through the hole at the front and push the wire into the groove.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9-11) Test fit the mount on the Leaf, if it doesn’t fit flush, like 9) then you may need to adjust the cable in the groove.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12) I would suggest routing the cable as shown, securing with cable ties, it will not catch on anything, or be in the way when charging.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13-14) Internal wire routing to main 12V battery, be careful to observe polarity when connecting to 12V battery, red to positive, black to negative. I added a switch to allow the camera to be switched off if the car is being left for long periods of time (weeks) although for short periods it doesn’t matter as the Leaf keeps the 12V battery charged.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e15-17) By this stage I’m assuming it all fits and the camera works. If so, open the charge port and  connect up your screen. angle the camera so with the charge port open you can just see the number plate (white line) I find this a very good reference point for the front of the car. Once you’ve adjusted it and tightened the screw on the camera to secure it at that angle, close the charge port lid, and you should get a view with about ¼ bumper and ¾ road. The idea is that for normal parking it will work fine, but for very close parking you can open the charge port cover and voila, an even better reference point!  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18) A few prototypes during development… :)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e19-20) An example of just how close you can now confidently get to another car or object.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI hope this works well for you, if you have any problems, please leave a comment, and I’ll try to assist.
