Buyer Evaluations

This tiny camera has a wide viewing angle making it painless to see every little thing behind you. The image it sends to my Pioneer 3300BT radio is brief of stunning. It really is clear each day and night. At night it really is lit up like you have bright lights shining out of it. I basically turned it on and went to the rear to see if lights were on simply because the view is that bright. I wired the backup wire on this to switched power (that is on when the auto is), because my radio has a reverse turn on and a button that lets you see behind anytime when you are driving or sitting in park. I used the included 3m adhesive to attach this as an alternative of running screws into my vehicle. This issue is stuck on so really good that it will not go anywhere. The other day whilst washing my car I purposely sprayed it directly with water (due to the fact it was nonetheless beneath warranty) to make sure it could deal with the rain and getting wet. No troubles whatsoever. I highly recommend this camera even if you do not have a Sony radio. It is universal as it has a ground, switched power, and a RCA cable coming out of a tiny separate box. One little cable runs to the camera itself and that is it. I've attached a consumer image up leading so you can see how little it is and what it would like with the cover painted to match. I am pleased with this buy :)

So I just finished a 3-weekend install of a GM Factory DVD navigation and Sony Rear Camera into my 2007 GMC Acadia (SLT-two).
The install of the DVD/NAV was pretty straightforward, one particular day... two hours... and it was plug and play.
The Rear Cam was a small much more tricky as I had to install a PAC VCI-GM3 video adapter to the GM NAV unit to be able to run my own camera.
Naturally this isn't the fault of Sony as I wanted to run a stock NAV unit versus an aftermarket a single like Alpine or Clarion.
Anyway, if you feel strictly the cam install... for an SUV like the ACADIA, your mounting point will most most likely be the trim above the license plate. This is a good plastic piece (simple and easy to drill into) and it generally has an opening into the liftgate that is utilized for the factory wires to the license plate bulb or lock. So you would run the Sony cam cable/connector along with that factory wiring.
With the liftgate, you will have to get rid of the factory inside covers, most just pop out. You'd then mount the Cam Brain inside the liftgate. 3m Double stick tape is fantastic for this. Plug the cam cable into the brain... and from right here, you can pick up the power/reverse off the reverse lights as most are on the liftgate.
What tends to make the final cable tricky is the Video one particular. Chances are you have a head unit in the automobile with a monitor, or have the monitor in the front of the automobile. So you have to have to run the video from the cam to your monitor. You Do not want to run it along the outside of the vehicle - exactly where the liftgate meets the body. That part of the car gets A LOT of rain water... and the cable nonetheless requirements to go into your auto... so it may possibly be pinched when the liftgate is closed.
The answer to this is to trace the factory wiring under the liftgate panels to a hole in the liftgate and the physique - normally you can follow the factory wiring to a rubber housing and feed the video by means of this housing... into the vehicle! :)
From there, just run your video cable along the interior panels to your monitor/head unit.
It is not a difficult job, but just take some time. I hope this note assists you all who may possibly be interested in adding this project to your. It really is undoubtedly a safety bonus for the reason that once you have it in, you'll get the chills from how considerably you DONT see behind your vehicle/SUV.
Enjoy!
p.s. and Yes the Sony cam is great. The Amazon price is super fair and reasonable.
