Easy installation in cars and automotive electronics

Installation is easy but requires some basic skills. You need access to the interior of the trunk and the car's reversing light. I found an existing hole that was behind my panel around the license plate. There I was able to lay a camera and a power cable. Once in my trunk, I ran a wire to the tail light and connected the wires to the included connectors that snap onto the wire. Any holes you either use or drill I highly recommend plugging them so the wire doesn't get worn down by the sharp metal. I bought a package from AutoZone for a few dollars. Then, using a plastic tool, I routed the wire to the front of the car to remove all the trim pieces. Once the wire was hidden behind the trim, I ran it to the back of the mirror. Mirror with built-in video fits most standard mirrors with two included elastic straps. When I shift the car back, the rear camera video appears in the mirror. One of the strengths of the video is that it includes redundant parking guides. I have found that I can return to any parking space with relative ease. I've had this backup camera for about three weeks and have really enjoyed its performance.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Little repairability
