Reversing Camera fitting advice

[Roz1]

I have a 2018 Citroen C3 Aircross Flair Automatic with ConnectNAV satellite navigation unit. I need to install a reverse parking camera, and I have the official Citroen C3 Aircross 2018 parking camera, but am struggling with the connection to the navigation unit and would really appreciate help on what I need and who could connect it for me. The Citroen parts hub tell me that I need to replace a part of the unit, and this will cost me £90, does that sound about right? Could you give me an idea of what this part is, (part number?) and would an independent Citroen garage be able to fit it for me, or would I need a specialist?

I take it you mean this bit? the non camera models have a blank in place. Looks like you would need to change it for the camera mount type.
I have no idea if the wiring will be present or not for it already.

The camera alone is no good. It needs a specific wiring harness that you won't have if it was not specified or part of the options, plus a specific version of the ECU. Without all this and the programming it won't work.

Citroen provide a retro fitting kit for the 180 degree panoramic reversing camera, but it requires extensive wiring to the tailgate, inner trim and through to the BSI at the front of the vehicle with the appropriate connections and configuring with Diagbox.

It can only be retro-fitted to vehicles with standard rear reversing sensors already fitted and as far as I'm aware will not include the Visio semi-auto parking option.

Total labour time to complete the installation and configuration and setting up of the camera is about 3 hours plus the kit.

I own a cactus c4 flair 2020 and love it.
My rear camera fell out (broken retainer clip) and part 4 have in the diagram I have no idea how it fits back on.
I have ordered a replacement front plate to hold the camera in.
