Nice unit. Couldn't be happier. Struggled a bit with wiring

Nice unit with fairly easy install. I chose the license plate mount as I anticipated a better mounting option without making holes in the car or relying on adhesive solutions. Picture quality is great in my opinion. Manufacturer's wiring directions could be better. "Powering your backup camera" on product page was a great help. Do your research as there are probably ways into your vehicle without drilling holes. I'll note for others since it was an issue for me. I wired everything per the video referenced above. In order to test the system before I reassembled the interior, I put the ignition in the run position without starting, put the car in reverse and nothing happened. Radio worked but no backup camera (image or guideline). At the end of the day everything was wired correctly. However, my car doesn't put power to the reverse lights unless it's actually running. Once I actually turned the car on(engine running) everything worked perfect. Imagine this will vary by vehicle. In testing on my wife's car the reverse lights work even when car is not running (ignition in run position). Very happy with my purchase.

Great Design and Function But a Little Flimsy

I installed this camera on a 2001 GMC Yukon SLT with a Double-DIN Sony XAV head unit. After a few days, I don't love the camera. First things first: it works fine and adds tremendous functionality to my ole' truck. But like other reviewers have noted the whole rig seems a little flimsy. The RCA cable feels too thin, and this perhaps contributes to the grainy video on screen. And although the actual camera is small, the single tiny screw holding it to the provided bracket is the smallest screw anywhere on my Yukon. I used Loctite to secure it, because the screw threads into the thin machined bracket and not into a separate lock-nut. The camera also had a hard time with the backup lights and license plate illumination lamps at night, washing out the image. I selected a mid-priced camera because I wanted something sturdier than entry level, but if I'd seen this in person I might have kept looking. Some install tips: I used a wheel grinder to notch a small groove in my license plate frame to route the RCA signal wire behind and under the bumper, then ran it up into the rear drivers side brake lamp well, where I drilled two 1/2" holes to get into the cabin near the subwoofer. I used Posi-taps to T-tap into the reverse light for power and head unit signal. Finally, I used black corrugated 1/4" loom tubing, cable ties and plenty of high-temp electrical tape to run the wires.

The wire is so thin it is difficult to get any power through it. It is not sufficient gage for the design. The connections are also very loose. In short, the wire is inadequate. I have to pull this item back out of my truck, return it, order a different camera and then install that camera. I would expect this camera to be a $20 camera because of the cheap build. At this price it's way over priced.

Small and clear crisp picture both day and night

I was gonna install this backup camera but i ended up sending it back to buy and install the tailgate camera on my f150 which is much cleaner . It had good clean crisp picture both day and night but i think its more for a car than a truck, theres other options for trucks but it seemed to be a good quality camera

Died right before a year of service. Checked the power going to the unit from the male side of the 6 pin conector, and all was still good, so problem definitely seems to be related to the camera itself.

Failed in Less Than 3 Years

When I first installed this camera I was very disappointed in how small gauge and fragile the power leads were for this wire. It made it VERY difficult to strip the wires and to splice them onto existing wire. Also, while the camera worked, it sometimes flickered pretty badly. Note that I soldered ALL of the power wiring splices, so a bad connection WAS NOT the problem. Now, less than 3 years after installing it the camera quit working on it and to make the repair quick, I just ordered the same camera again--that way I could just unplug the old camera and plug in the new one and run the wire the short distance from the taillight to the license plate area. Well, they COMPLETELY changed the wiring so I would now have to splice in the tiny power wires AGAIN and rerun the video cable all the way from the back of the truck into the cabin. This defeats the point of buying the same camera again--I would have never bought it again knowing I had to completely redo the wiring. Will probably return and find a better camera, since I'm going to have to completely reinstall the thing anyway.

Broken easily by automatic car washes.

The camera worked as promised. However, the design (small camera box hanging over the license plate) was not ideal. The camera is easily battered and knocked apart by automatic car washes. It's easy to put back together, but the wires inside finally broke. I'm now looking for a camera that has the camera integrated into the frame, not just hanging free.

Keeps me from backing up into or over things but the picture is not quite what I was expecting. It was pretty inexpensive and I can see well enough for now. I did tweak the bracket as my license plate light is in the top center of the pocket. I tried under the plate but after a trip thru the car wash, was watching the sky. Put it back on top but moved over to miss the light and the car wash didn't catch it

Good but not great

Installation was a challenge given my license plate is located on my hatchback. Routing wires from the camera through the hatchback, then to the reverse light, then to the front of the car was an all day project. Found a Youtube video that showed installation tricks on a similar car, so that made things a bit easier. Colors are pretty distorted, and overall image is only fair, I guess what you could expect from a $70 camera. Certainly helpful, and the wide angle lens gives a comprehensive view behind and to the side of the car. Three stars, no better, no worse.

Camera resolution, brightness, and response were all very nice. The bracket doesn't deal well with license plate frames and could be more adjustable, mine was a little crooked (minor complaint) but to fix that would have required bending the bracket which I didn't want to risk. Overall it works fine and I especially liked the modular design which gives different options for tapping into power and routing the cabling. Would buy again.

Extention video cable too short

Quality of the camera itself is good. Video output is as expected for the price. The install instructions are simple enough. The video out extention cable was about 6ft too short for my vehicle so I had to buy a 12ft RCA and female to female adapter and cut off the L/R audio cables. Even if I went the l shortest distance (maybe straight back through the headliner) and kept the cable very tight, I still would have been too short. Subaru Outback

Clear picture, plenty of cable left on a double cab SR5 Tundra. It will make backing up to a trailer so much easier when doing by myself. Instructions were not clear but Jacob at Crutchfield provided a wiring schematic that was easier to understand as there was no instruction on where the red wires should go and also drew two different ways to wire it.

Camera seems to work fine and has a good picture, although not as good as a factory camera. Biggest issue is that things looked far away and it was difficult to judge distance. It will take some getting used to, and its better than not having one. Have not tested at night, so not sure how that will work. Used with Boyo VTM43TC and connected up fine after I figured out the auto trigger hookup. The true test is how the camera will withstand weather. My factory camera in my Dodge got water in it after 4 years, so pretty disappointed in that. Also, the adjustment was limited, i have it fully pushed up and it could go higher to get the exact right spot.

Good picture, guidelines seem disproportionate. Plenty of wire, clear pic, average nighttime pic. Will definitely meet my needs for price. Wired all the colors as diagrammed but there is a purple wire (?) that has to connect to 12v power or camera won't override unit when in reverse. So that wasn't super clear and is going to cost me on install. Once wire fixed going to be perfect for my needs.

Back up camera

Nice camera with a very good picture when it works. This was the second time I bought this camera because the first one I bought just a few months earlier stopped working. I have no idea why and can only suspect maybe water got inside it from a car wash. Once I replaced it with a new one I broke open the old one and the inside did not look water damaged. Guess that means it was a fault with the camera. The hardest part about installing these cameras is all the trim removal necessary for running the cables. I have a large SUV and there was a lot of trim to remove. When I bought it the second time I did not realize I was buying the same one again so now my fingers are crossed it does not fail again. I had forgotten which model and brand I bought the first time so when I searched the website somehow I picked this one again. I guess that says something but I'm not sure what but I do know if it fails again that will be the last time I buy anything from that manufacturer.

Excellent camera with clear picture

I have this installed with the wires run through an access hole in the rear bumper of my 2003 Ford F-150. Due to cold and damp weather I haven't run the wiring up into the cabin yet, but I did test it by connecting temporarily and it provided a crystal clear picture (in daytime). The installation instructions are ambiguous at best, and at worst are worthless. I contacted Crutchfield's tech support and left my number for a call back. In about 5 minutes I received a call back and my questions were answered. The tech that helped me was very polite and knowledgeable and had received similar calls so knew exactly how to help me. The gist of it is the LONG cable contains a 6" red wire on both of the yellow connector ends. There are no instructions on what to do with it. The tech explained that the red wire connects to the reverse sensor wire on the radio harness side, (I got the ready harness with my system and it was clearly labeled) and on the rear end it connects to the power feed for the reverse light bulb. There is also a red and black wire from the camera that is a solid pair. Just pull it apart a bit and the red wire connects to the SAME red wire for the reverse light power, and the black wire just goes to a convenient ground. Will do a permanent installation and wire run once temps warm up and it dries out a bit. I have completed the radio side of the installation and have the LONG wire with the yellow plug and 6" wire for the camera side tucked away for now.
