Review on PYvideo Backup Camera Tailgate Handle for Tacoma (05-14) Universal Monitors (RCA) - Black by Steve Yang

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good unit let down by poor instructions

This is a good little camera with some design flaws and a serious lack of documentation. First, the overall design is quite nice. Replacing the factory trunk handle. Very good performance day and night, with more than enough light from the reversing lights. You can change the overall cut of the camera by fiddling with the mounting screws, but in the end you still want to rotate the camera slightly in its mount. A half star is deducted for not being able to move the camera in the mount so that the picture is completely square at the last moment, and another half star for not sinking the camera in a bit more so that it can be adjusted no water droplets form on the volume. lens in the rain. The installation didn't go too bad. I got an extra wire mesh to cover the area from the cockpit to the tailgate. One full star deducted for lack of documentation. Nothing. Zero. zilch. Nada. bupkis Details in the pocket, nothing else. Do you see the information in the description and one of the pictures? That's all you get. In fact I could have at least used a copy of the above and it really frustrates me that I could have removed the colored leads by cutting a small wire if I had known about this BEFORE I closed all the wiring. Seriously, update the instructions a bit and include a copy in the shipment. Happy with the purchase, would buy again but REALLY need someone from the seller to spend a day writing a better guide with a few extra parts and spending $0.05 on the camera including a copy of it in the bag .

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Compatibility
