Review on TheCoolCube Rear View CCD Car Camera for Subaru Forester Outback Impreza Sedan – Improved Reversing Parking Aid by Dean Partybus

Installed and everything was fine for a few months. One day I noticed that the video was backlit, making everything difficult to see during the day and impossible to see at night. A day or two after the video problem, it started blinking black and only worked for a while until it died completely. The LEDs continued to function normally even after the camera died. I checked the voltage the camera was getting and saw 11.3v with the car on but not running and 13.3v with the car running. I think the camera will be able to handle the surge. After removing the camera, I noticed that the wires that power the LEDs were not properly inserted into the camera body and water was getting in. I ordered another one hoping the camera had deteriorated due to poor waterproofing. The camera looked fine until it died, which happened outside of the spare window. The new one seems to have a significantly different lens and better camera. 2 stars because I had to pay twice for something that passed quality control and still failed. Before installation, I took care of protecting the new one from the weather.
