Which Dudu7 for Fiat Ducato Van

tabboz81

Any update on your install would be much appreciated...

Sorry for the late update, everyone.
This ended up taking a lot longer than I anticipated, mostly due to the number of wires I had to run to intall all the cameras and because the fascia I got with the canbus does not fit the Dudu7 well - I had to trim it in multiple areas with a Dremel.

The issue I was having with the head unit not going to standby properly was fixed after I selected the correct canbus module within the settings (I had already set it to go to standby instead of shutting down - as suggested by Mihai - but it was not wowrking properly).

So, yeah, very happy with the unit, the fascia + canbus box + wiring harness are a must, since Mekede does not have anything Ducato specific, but once those are sorted it's worth the effort, especially if you get 360 chip and cameras like I did.
I will try and post a couple pictures in the next few days.

eclignett i just installed in my Ducato RV and it was very easy.everything was included with cables and frame. I bought from Tony at duduato on alibaba. . Perfect fit. 11,5 inch
The only thing i did not get was the canbus adaper.så that i need to buy if i will need it

Dargish Canbus box, fascia and cable harness I got from AliExpress, here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007646742233.html
Depending on your current setup you can choose the adequate fascia and wire harness. My 2016 Ducato needed what they call "frame cable cabus-2B". Worked well but I had to modify the fascia to make everything fit adequately.

Hi All,

I have recently purchased the Dudu7 with a 360 camera system and the tyre pressure monitoring system.

As most of you...I bought the system to have installed in my Roller Team 740 T Line motor home which is a Fiat Ducato 2019.

I bought the system direct from the Mekede mall.

I am hoping someone in the group could point me in the right direction with regards to;

1). setting up the canbus system (Mekede have included this in the kit)

2). Where have some of you positioned the side camera's for the 360 system...on a regular car it is positioned in the wing mirrors...is it the same for a motor home..??

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Please, could verify if you were able to get your 360° Cameras working on your 2016 Fiat Ducato?

If so:

• Where did you mount the cameras?
• Where did you purchase cable extensions for the cameras?
• What cameras did you use for side cameras?
• Where did you buy your Side cameras?

Thank you VERY much for any information you can provide.

on installing DUDU7 360 cameras in a van.

Verify exactly what someone else did AND where they bought ALL of the parts before spending $$$!

Installing into a van is not what Mekede or DUDU designed the DUDU7 for. It can be done, but you need to design your own solution. To do that, you will need the technical specifications of your hardware. That is NOT easy to find.

I asked several sellers for technical info before I bought - (to verify it would work and plan the install) and none would provide it. Not even the dimensions of the hardware! I bought anyway based on advertising images and user reviews thinking the hardware is all the same and it therefore doesn't matter about the seller. The seller I chose did not know that DUDU7 was not designed for my type of vehicle (...or they lied). They were wrong about several things about DUDUAUTO/Mekede Products. Now I deeply regret buying from that seller. I wasted a lot of $$$ and have no help for problems.

If the seller cannot give you more information than is in the product advertisement -DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

ManOfScience Out of curiosity, did you contact Mekede/Dudu sales directly? Loads of people on here are saying that's the way to go and I'm thinking 5hey would most likely be the ones to know most about their own product and most willing to help. Then again, I may be wrong that's why I'm asking.

I have been trying to install the supplied Simple Soft canbus on my 2019 Ducato...though it does not have a Ducato option on there...I tried a few different options under Fiat...but with no success..

Any ideas..??

Thanks.

Rigstud I am doing the same on a Mercedes Sprinter (2m x 3m x 5.5m) so I have the same 360 camera design concerns.

I spent today doing testing on the DUDU 360 Cameras - some valuable discoveries! I'll post shortly...

CDRX , I've contacted my seller (DUDUAUTO Global Store on AliExpress) and some other official sellers there and on Alibaba as well. As far as I have been able to find out, that is the most 'direct' way to interact with Mekede & Dudu other than these Forums and the Telegram channel.

If you know a different way to communicate directly with the Manufacturer - skipping the Sales blockade, please let me know!

ManOfScience I posted my results from the 360 camera testing at https://forum.dudu-auto.com/d/1300-360-camera-installation-for-fiat-ducato-motorhome/10

ManOfScience Thanks for the info. As I am not yet at the stage of buying, I have not contacted Mekede yet. I have however found the following link where direct whatsapp contacts are listed. I can't tell if they might be any different from the people/channels you've been talking to, but it may be worth a look: https://www.mekede-mall.com/?page_id=48

I have fitted an 11.5" unit in a 2021 Citroen relay. I had to buy the suggested canbus adapter and fascia frame separately off AliExpress. Was the one suggested by another user. Hivision o think and it works perfectly. The frame I had to add some zip ties and screws to affix as it didn't clip to anything, not sure if I need D an additional frame. Have Tpms and 2k DVR, but not tried any 360 cameras, although I did purchase the unit with reqd chip.
Can take some pics if needed.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me which frame to use for the DUDU7, 9.5" in the 2Din slot of the Ducato 8 (2021+)
