Sorry, I didn't get back to you earlier. It took less than an hour to get the whole thing wired up and installed.
I don't know how it could work any better. I wired it into my reverse lights, and when you shift into reverse,
you get a bright, clear picture of what's behind you.
I didn't get any interference from my cell phone or my amateur radio.
I left it in reverse for about 5 minutes and had 3 or 4 flickers on the screen. That was the worst of it.
The wife saw it and now she wants one for her SUV.

I had full sun on it after I got it installed and it did wash out some, but then I adjusted the camera downward a
little and that improved it. The LCD monitor is switchable to reverse the picture and also to invert it.
I'd have to say that this deal can't be beat.

Thanks for the update Bob. I am going to buy one now.
I too have been on the fence but if it looks that good and for only $50... done deal.

Yep, free shipping is done now. I bet it might show up again in the near future, as they sometimes do...

The only gripe I have is that I had to pay $11.00 for shipping and I haven't even got mine yet and today I got an email that they are doing free shipping for 72 hours. If you are going to get one get it while the free shipping is on!!! Nice pics Cardiac69.

Paul, you can only use one coupon at a time; either the "free shipping" or the "camdeals" coupon, so don't feel bad, you still got about as good of a deal as can be had.

Myblkex, I don't have any screen shots, but it is as good as can be expected out of a 2.5" LCD. You can adjust the brightness and contrast, and can reverse and invert the picture. I am very happy with the picture.... And thanks for the bumper sticker comment. It is the first one I have ever put on a vehicle, as I don't really care for them......but I HAD to with this one.

I wondered about that after I posted. I don't feel so bad now.

Slick move there, Sherlock. Disguise your license plate in one photo, leave it exposed in another!

I'm not real fond of blocking the Air Conditioning vent. Is that your final location?

I don't really care about the plate showing. I whited out the plate in the first pic and then just said the heck with it...

No, I don't like blocking the vents either. I'm a man who likes his A/C
