I ordered the WeiVision 360 view cameras and 7” monitor. I wanted to see how well it worked on my older Toyota Corolla. I decided to hook up the cameras and monitor before installing in the car. I used an external harddrive power supply to test the system. I was not able get the system to work. I emailed Lucy at the address provided and got an immediate response from her. Several emails back and forth with her in the next hour or two got all my issues resolved. Lucy was a great help. I recommend highly that you contact her if you have any issues.
Once I knew the system was working, I started installing in the car. Getting to the side mirrors was somewhat of a challenge, but got it done with some effort. I use my cigarette lighter to power the system. Since the car does not have blinkers in the side mirrors, I decided I didn’t need the system automatically switch to a side view when I’m turning. I could have wired to the front or back turn lights, but I didn’t feel that it was important enough.
The final step was calibration. It takes a little time, but if you step through the process, it works as intended. The front camera as I installed it was partially blocked by the bumper. I emailed Lucy again and was offered a modified camera that was designed for a Toyota. Great service!
The monitor that comes with this system has a second input so I can connect my phone (with an RCA accessory) and see a Maps view for driving directions. I’m very happy with the system and will be installing in our Lexus at some future date.
I highly recommend that you test your system before installing in the car. It’s best to know how everything works before spending the labor to install all wires and cameras. The support from the WeiVision team was excellent. It was very helpful to get the support when I needed it.
