Today I installed my new back up camera. I used to have a different camera on there but I wasn't completely satisfied.

The pictures dont do it justice. Its very crisp and the colors are very vivid.

Here is a video of me backing into a space rather sloppily.
Parking using BOYO Backup Camera - YouTube

This is how close I parked in the video.

very nice clear pictures. would def be very helpful when backing up to a trailer and all

 

Nice... That's the camera Ive been looking at to go with my CTS.

Couple questions, is the cord long enough to reach the dash and does the camera block the state on the number plate.

 

Yes. The cord made it all the way to the radio. I have a CCSB a CCLB would not reach.

Yes, the camera does cover the name of the state. Mostly. If its against the law in your state, it does cover it enough to be worried about a ticket for it.

 

Thanks, now i have to decide if its going to be the black or chrome.

 

A couple of questions.

Why does the camera reverse the image? Does it do it when backing up to a trailer, so you go left when you should go right.

Also why would it be illegal to show license plates?

Thanks

 

Its called mirroring. Most cameras do that.

Also, he is asking if when you install the camera if it covers up the state name at the top of the plate, which it does.

 

Oh okay. I wasn't thinking that it would cover his plate.

Thanks.

 

Ive got a brand new one ive never taken out of the box.

I thought if I bolted it to my license plate it would get broke right away.
Stepping on the bumper and hooking up trailers both hit the plate sometimes.

Ive been trying to think of somewhere to put it that it would be protected somehow?

 

Well with a back up camera the trailer never hits the plate... sooo..

But my old one did break from stepping on the bumper. Thats why I got this one. Its metal.

 

outside straight on view of the camera? im very interested, would def help

 

Night Shot

 

Would this work / plug into the factory nav screen on an 08 KR CC?

What else would I need?

 

That not a bad price for a camera like that! I may get one for my Sony head unit. Does it just hook to 12V power then have a video output cable coming out?

 

I would like one of these. Gotta figure how I would view it though. I dont have a screen.
