I don’t know why Fiat chose not to include the reverse camera in 124 Spider Abarths sold in the U.K., but since the Infotainment System is designed to accommodate the camera, it is only a matter of adding the wiring and the camera itself, should you wish to have the popular option that Fiat fortunately included for most of the other 124 Spiders sold around the world (I’m sure the US requirement for including the cameras in all 2019+ automobiles was a major factor).
Stuart has started a blog promoting his reverse camera retrofit kit, along with instructions, which is at https://124spider.uk/reversing-camera, and asked that I share this with my readers.

The item in that link won’t work as the pin outs are wrong for the 124 Spider.

No they don’t although the USA Abarth does as standard – explain that one?

I have recently bought and fitted Stuart kit. Excellent quality and fantastic, very detailed instructions with photographs where appropriate. Will take a couple of hours to fit) if you route the wires properly.
He is also now marketing a wide angle camera to mimic the Lusso one.
Excellent quality at a very low price indeed
