Review on πŸš— Enhanced Visibility: 170Β° Reversing Vehicle-Specific Integrated License Plate Rear View Backup Camera - Honda Accord / Acura TSX / Pilot / Civic / Odyssey by Bill Forbis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great upgrade, a little tricky to install but

Love that this unit was a direct replacement for one of my license plate light assemblies. There was a gasket on the factory lamp housing which I carefully removed but found too thick on the camera/lamp housing to snap into place. Without a seal, the knot was very tight. I had to open the case and reroute the wires to the LED as they were routed in a way that the case could NOT be snapped into place. Why this error is remains a mystery, since there is enough space for them on the central opening. I hooked up the unit from a nearby backup light and license plate light to the existing wires that powered the factory lights. I wish there was a factory connector as I suspect Honda used the same connector on all license plate assemblies. The wiring was something like PITA, but it should take several hours. Plenty of cable was provided, but I took the shortest route, which ended up with maybe 18 inches of extra wire for coiling. This device is connected to an XTRONS PST10ACH_L Android 10 headset. This head unit has TWO return wires, one to switch to the rear camera and the other to turn down the headset volume. The quality of the Sony CCD on which this unit is based as well as the glass optics ensure a very sharp and clear image Static reversing marker hardly useful Night vision with reversing lights outperforms far beyond the range of reversing lights Great way to add a reversing camera to Honda vehicles .

Pros
  • Car Backup Cameras
Cons
  • Great Price
