Front Bumper Parking Camera Use

I bought this BC40 for ease of installation and expected limited use as a front bumper parking camera. I prefer to hardwire everything but succumbed to the ease of installation and setup of this unit. The start was a bit shaky. It recognized the camera but failed to connect on the second launch. After Garmin has done two reboots things seem to have settled down and everything is working as intended. LIKE: You can flip the video and remove guides (for front cameras). Perfect for my use as a front bumper camera (you can't do that with a BC 30 hardwire camera). The voice command only takes a few seconds, which is acceptable. I park two cars in a garage only 12 inches apart. The camera makes this task easier. You can also use the SHOW VIDEO and HIDE VIDEO commands without HEY GARMIN. DON'T LIKE: I don't like this idea. change batteries every few months. I'll see how it works with my limited activation needs. I would prefer a wired BC30 solution with the above limitations for frontline deployment.
