This system works fine in my station wagon. Parallel parking is now a breeze due to the very wide angle view. It is not the highest quality image but displays well in both day and night. The video screen is subject to glare (like cell phones, etc) so don’t plan on mounting it in a sunny spot. I stuck it to the left of the steering column with Velcro.
Unlike other models that have a mounting system over the license plate holder, the camera mounting on this unit can be problematic. The maker helpfully supplies a HOLE SAW (!) to drill a nice big hole in your sheet metal. I doubt the camera will last as long as my car so I rigged a mount inside the back window (remember-station wagon) and am satisfied.
It also lacks an on-off switch so I mounted a switch in my dash, thinking it might extend the life of the display if I was able to turn it on when I need it. So- bottom line – if you are handy with auto electric for a DIY install then it will work for you.

It took me some time to get around to installing the camera and when I did I had misplaced the meager instructions. I tried to get some help from the seller and the manufacturer but the seller said contact the manufacturer and the manufacturer never responded to my email. It took a little longer than I expected but finally I successfully installed it and it was a beautiful site to see the image. It works great for the price and I would buy again knowing I was on my own.

Use a VOM to verify power leads polarity. Instructions are for color coded leads, not black and white leads. Works great. Very good video.

I have yet to fully use this product as it is going on vacation with us. I have it all wired up but will need to actually use it before I can fully review. I know this…It Needs More instructions for the novice installer. I consider myself a good do it yourselfer but found this to be challenging with the instructions included.
