Title: My new backup cam installed
Post by: DreaminAccord on March 14, 2013, 04:17:14 PM
So, I had originally ordered a Chinese "CCD" backup cam from eBay, shipped from Hong Kong & took 2 weeks. Psh. It mounts in the right passenger side license plate light holder, thus limiting your ability to angle the cam as you please.

So, instead I ordered this 120˚ wide-angle CCD backup cam (http://www.ebay.com/itm/390542889618?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) that delivered today. I got around to installing it, and let me just say, I am completely satisfied with both the quality and it's ability to be discreetly hidden.

On with the pics!

Packaging:

Our trunks were MADE for this cam. The size is exact :thumbsup:

Get out your electric drill, as you'll be drilling through bare metal:

Soldered connections to 12V Reverse tied in with the Navi 12V Reverse wire for power among shifting into [R]

Crystal clear video. I have it currently pointed down towards the bumper itself, as that's mainly what I care about in terms of a backup cam - just how far can I go?? :) But the cam is 360˚ adjustable! Left/Right, Up/Down.

My rating: 5 stars. Ships from Staten Island, NY too - so no dealing with International (loooong) wait times!
