So this isn’t child’s play by its nature. You need to often drill a hole in the trunk, tap into reverse lights power cables mount antenna, camera and the front monitor. But, in terms of there manufactures effort to make it as easy as possible; they hit the mark. The monitor instantly recognizes the camera without doing anything. Which it great.
You don’t want to get completely finished and then be fighting with the thing to connect it. I mounted the antenna for the rear camera in the trunk, which provides a solid wireless connection. Picture quality is above those stock factory cameras by far.
I chose not to, but it has a cigarette lighter adapter for the monitor. However, advanced users can cut it off and splice into fuse box circuit like I did quite easily with a fuse circuit tap.
One complaint is the cameras size being digital, and the mounting is intrusive on the license plate. I’m going to remount it by clipping out a small piece of the plate and putting the mounting bracket behind the plate instead. That, and I did purchase a separate sticky plate to mount on dash. Although the mount is already sticky on its suction cup side.
This was a gift to my aging parents to assist them when backing up, and I just ordered the second cam for front parking near those concrete logs, etc. Also it see through night, which is helpful front and back. Great addon product, done really well from the factory.
I recommend this one.
