Works great: Car electronics

Works great and looks good. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I wanted the power cords to be longer. They're long enough to fit on the reverse lights, but I wanted to warm mine up to ignition. It would be nice if the video cable and power cables ran together and were the same length. Image quality is ok. It has a huge viewing platform. I can see my trailer ball perfectly, as well as a large area behind and around it. Seems a little less sturdy than the stock tailgate handleโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Expensive

Casual work, they don't respond

I bought this and waited months for it to install. Installation was easy. The camera didn't work, I contacted the seller then I had to send it in for verification. They sent a replacement and it stopped working after 1 month. I tried to contact several times and they don't answer. It costs a lot of money for something that won't work anytime soon. It should have a 3 year guarantee. Bought late January, installed late March, got replacement and stopped working in June. I'd rather get my moneyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Loads of stuff

Fits great, picture quality is great!

trunk lock has a good fit and finish, it fitted my 2005 Ram with no issues. The locking mechanism itself feels a bit more fragile than the original, but the camera has decent resolution and clarity and, most importantly for me, allows me to see my hitch (4 inches) when returning to a trailer. Part of the video harness was barely long enough to reach my main unit on the long four-cabin platform. The extension would have allowed for a cleaner installation by passing through the clutch masterโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Perfect fit and something easy to install.

I was very impressed with the overall quality of this setup. I replaced my license plate camera which I bought from Revain a year ago. The lens fogs up and makes it impossible to see. Also, it wasn't a very good angle for my trailer. The angle to it is perfect! There was a lot of cable to run it to my console on my ATV 07 but there is no cable to activate the camera in the kit. You need to connect the "Power" wire to the reversing light or trailer connector. This cable is only about two metersโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Clarity

Good quality but needs minor adjustments

Image quality is excellent! However, I wanted to connect the power lines to the PAC Audio BCI CH41 interface module, but they were probably about 10 feet shorter than the RCA cable, so I had to connect an additional cable. On the plus side, the length of the extended cords and RCA allowed me to run wires in the engine bay and through the firewall so I didn't have to drill holes in the floor. The grip quality is very good and the workmanship is impeccable. The chromed handle decorates theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Annual trial period
Cons
  • Hide

Looks good, maybe bad luck this device.

Works sometimes. I write to the seller, there is no answer. That's why I'm so disappointed when you get so concerned with removing parts and wires to find that it doesn't work as easily as the instructions say. Above the video is an image with lines. The camera didn't work at all today. Dismantled connections are ok, but there is no video. Not to mention it was the part that was resubmitted. Was it an open box or did someone open it before me to check. It's missing the ground screw that'sโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Weight

Looks and fits like a factory unit.

Bought for a factory look. This assembly fits perfectly in place of the factory trunk handle. The included video cable was more than long enough to run from the back door down the frame and through the front firewall to the back of my stereo. This was installed on my 2008 Crew Cab Short Bed 1500. My main unit is an aftermarket Kenwood double din. I had to lengthen the power and ground wires because I wanted them to connect to the engine bay and cab, but that was my personal preference. Powerโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • thin

Broke after a little over a year.

Would easily give 5 stars. The camera works great! Good picture. Much better than a license plate bracket, especially when hitching a trailer. The product seems to be factory. I removed 1 star because many head units require a reverse trigger cable that is not included in the wiring harness. I had to take a very well made factory wiring harness and glue the extra wire to it. My attempt to contact CS to resolve the issue for future customers failed. Contact failed. I deducted the 2nd starโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Only available in black

Almost a great product - we'll see how the longevity holds up.

This product installed successfully and few factors prevent me from rating it higher. Pros: The tailgate handle assembly is easy to install and looks like an OEM part once installed. The quality is sufficient, but not outstanding. During the day it is very blurry, it is difficult to see small details. At night, in low light, there's a lot of blur, which is to be expected from a sensor of this type of camera. It works for what it's supposed to do, but it would be nice if the image was a bitโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
