Customer Reviews Cure for Cool Cars with limited rear view! Date: 2009-02-18 | Rating: 5 Once I installed the PIONEER AVGVDP1 Vehicle Dynamics Processor, I had a video screen. That's all that's necessary to use this unit, and provisions are there to plug it into it's own box and from there to the video screen box. So when I installed the VDP-1 I left room on the component mounting board to install the control box for this device. As it turned out the control box is the size of a box of Tic-Tacs, so the space I left was very generous.. Every time I went to that big world-dominating discount store, I looked at the cheap rear-view camera and every time I would leave it on the shelf, waiting for it to come down from $100 to the $20 it's probably worth. But it is one of the items that has never in my experience been "Rolled Back". So eventually I stopped watching it but never stopped thinking about how nice it would be to have one. Our Jeep Commander Overland has one that came from the factory and it's very useful for spotting the curb before the rear juts past, for lining up when parking, and so on. I drive a Chrysler Crossfire. I love the car and on the road, the rear view (with properly angled mirrors) is just fine. But backing up is another thing altogether. Side rear view is very limited and large things can be directly behind and invisible through the rear window. There have actually been times I've gotten out and checked before daring to back up. And I have had quite a few close calls with other drivers going way too fast in parking lots and sneaking up on me after I had tried to check. I consider myself a good driver so this is frustrating. Some reviewers claim the night vision is not very good. But video screens have adjustments for this on the better monitors. I took a minute to adjust my Pioneer AVD-W6210 touch-screen in the night-mode and the view is like daylight, both in terms of sharpness and color quality. So in my experience, the night view is a function of the screen and settings. And remember that if your back-up lights aren't very bright, there isn't anything short of night vision that's going to help... What impressed me most about this unit was the incredibly small size. The control box is the size of a pack of Tic-Tacs. The camera is the size of a single bullion cube. The product picture on this site is actually larger than life size! Since I already had a compatible Pioneer video screen installed, the addition of this unit was mindlessly easy. I literally plugged in the 12-volt, ground and video cables, stuck the camera to the back of my car, routed the wires, and it was over. The camera worked great first try. My screen gives the option of "mirror" or "normal" views so I have the choice of how I want to see the view. The camera comes on automatically when I put the car in reverse. Pretty darned easy! It cost me very little more than the Wal*Mart unit and far exceeds it's capabilities and quality. The added bonus is that the camera is wired in rather than wireless and battery-powered. This is worth every penny! Excepttional Camera!!!!!! Date: 2008-03-31 | Rating: 5 I had my choice of the audiovox, eclipse and Pioneer. A friend of mine has this camera on his F-350 and recommended it to me. the picture quality is phenominal in the day and even better at night. You will have some blurry spots in the rain( but what camera would not)I would definately recommend this camera to a friend.... Great camera Date: 2009-01-14 | Rating: 5 Works great! Shows a very wide angle view. Only complaint is that in direct sun light there is some glare (not a big deal). Decent Date: 2008-04-21 | Rating: 4 Quality is pretty good, however the image is zoomed out a lot. A car behind me may be only a few inches away, but on the screen, it looks like it's a couple feet away. Looks great at night Very Good Purchase Date: 2009-05-30 | Rating: 3 This is a very good selection if you already checked to have a special place to install it in your car, do not reccomend it to have it completely exposed to rain and dust, it great to the licence plate space that some suv's have. It works grat in dayligth and good with the reverse ligth at nigth.
