Backup Camera Easy Setup Plug-Play: HD 1080P No-Delay Waterproof - Clear Night Vision Rear View Camera with Monitor for Car Truck SUV - LK3

The good points are that the cable has a very small connector requiring only a quarter inch drill bit to pass through the firewall and whatnot, also the camera itself is very wide angle it's nice to be able to see people on the fringes that are walking towards your car from the back, also the monitor is very small but High FidelityI put this system in a 2010 BMW 528iThe monitor suction cup does not work on vinyl or cloth materialI had to remove the suction cup and drill pilot holes and use screws to mount the bracket which worked greatFor some reason the BMW computer does not allow you to connect and take 12 volts off of the reverse wire and it turns off the monitor somehow after 10 seconds so I just picked up 12 volts from a fuse over on the fuse block nope located next to the battery which is ignition 12v.I cut the wire for the backup camera LED lights because my backup monitor is on all the time with the car is on which looks kind of cool no complaints about that.The insulation takes longer than 15 minutes but if I were to do it again in the same car I could probably do it in 10 to 12 minutes now that I'm higher in the learning curve.See the picture of the monitor placement which seems to be the best other option would be up on top near the rear view mirror but if you're tall it would block the vision possibly.Passengers in the car think that the monitor backup camera looks good and more impressive now with it.Cheaper backup camera options do not have field of view of this one and the Fidelity of the Monitor and picture is not as good.On this BMW model, the instrument cluster and the stereo are easily removed making for easy wiring behind them to pop the cable out right next to where the backup camera monitor is located.As I remember the cable for the backup camera monitor is about 23 ft long which works okay for a 5 Series BMW with about two feet extra, but if you had a 7 Series you would need a longer cable I do believe that the seller will give you a longer cable if you write them and ask them before you order.The camera mounting hardware that's attached to the camera itself is very high quality and durable and good design.

Just had installed. The monitor is small but it is very sharp and clear and the colors are very true. Blue sky, green bushes and grass, etc. Comes on instantly when put into reverse, no delay. Wired to backup light. Very happy with this purchase. I had a Leekeeluu previously, lasted about 5 years. If I get that from this camera, I'll be happy. Thanks, Leekeeluu.

The camera and monitor picture quality was excellent, very clear. With the monitor's adjustments for brightness, contrast, tint, etc. I don't se how it could be better. Controls on the monitor also include parking lines toggled on/off as well as placement on the screen. The cabling was very long and should fit most any car or truck from cab to tail. Being thin, but strong metal, I was able to mount the bracket behind the rear plate while the adjustable camera hung over the top of the plate, without obscuring any required visible info.Now the less desirable aspects: Since this is an add-on device, it may require some hard wiring which is relatively simple in most cases, but a few more steps nonetheless. I chose to simply plug the included cable set into the cab power outlet and run the cable to the rear. There is a piece of wire that goes under the rear hatch and is barely visible, but still exposed. If you choose the hard wire method and choose to use the rear taillights instead of the license plate light wire, you may have to drill a hole to get to the rear lights wiring. The led lights worked well, varied in intensity based upon ambient light. If the camera is on in the dark, so are the really bright white lights, illuminating the ground like it's daytime. In the daytime, you can use this as a stealth camera. At night, you may blind a vehicle behind you. But this is not the intended use, just an option to think about

Very easy to set up. I like that I can direct wire it or just use a lighter outlet. The picture is very clear. Screen is a little small, but plenty big enough to see what you need to see.

The quality of the video is much better than I was expecting, coming from a product that was under $40 USD. Installation was straightforward and easy (NOTE: In my car, I did need to drill a small hole in the area over the license plate to run the cord and run the wires through the trunk lid to the trunk to hook up to the back-up light). Being fairly handy, the install wasn't difficult, but did take some time. The up-side to that is that it looks great, and you can't see any of the wires once run through the car! Really impressed by this product

Required hardwire which took my mechanic 4 hours, but I love the device! My only gripe is that the screen is a little grainy but could be due to the set up requirements post-market.

Easy enough for me to install but I'm an experienced handy man.For the average person, either get help or use the wireless version.
