Great low cost solution for a rear facing camera to aid with reversing.
Installed into my 2004 Audi A3 3.2 Quattro.
Drilled a hole into the door handle to connect the camera.
Then routed the wiring through the corrugated rubber grommet into the cabin and then tucked under interior body panels too the back of the head unit.
Sorted.
My wife has an ’07 Audi TT and we decided to upgrade the heading on the cheap, using a generic Chinese android unit. The reversing camera that arrived with it was appalling so I purchased this item in the hope it looked better when fitted and performed better.
First of all, the installation is so discrete when mounted alongside the number plate lights and only required a small (8mm?) hole drilling to guide the wiring connector through. Then, much to my surprise, once connected to the head unit it required no additional power feed (win win!).
The picture quality itself is absolutely adequate and much better than the item supplied with the head unit. For circa 20 on a 17 year old car – o really can’t fault it!
Nice simple install needed for this camera, bought another previously but it was poor quality so decided to purchase this one and its much better. Image is clear and with the option to choice different settings to suit the dash using was ideal.
Fitted to a 2020 Ford Transit Custom
Good camera for the price, bit of a faff fitting it to my mk5 Astra however that may not be the case for all, might need to take the rear bumper off so bear that in mind.
Secure mount, good quality, great cable length
Components all seem of a decent quality, extremely tedious install but that’s down to me. Would also advise causation if buying for a van, I have fitted this to a swb t5 and the cables are annoyingly short. I’ve taken the shortest possible routing and still ended up buying a male to female 1m extension for the stereo end of the setup.
Is a great product, well built but can be tedious with connections. Be aware it is more of a fisheye look from the camera view too when using. Not bad for the price and works as intended once set up.
I was impressed when I opened the box that the camera feels really solid, the housing is made from aluminium and feels really quality. The mounting system with a single 8mm hole required is also very appreciated, my previous camera would have required a 13mm hole to fit the RCA plug through.
This one, using a low profile 4 pole connector only needs an 8mm hole to mount, and then adjustment is easy using the screw on the side.
The camera supports various resolutions and I was glad my head unit supports 1080p 25fps so I was able to use the highest resolution, it looks great. The cable is plenty long enough, it fits my defender 110 with cable to spare.
This was on offer for 18 and for that I think it’s incredible value for money, the quality of the picture and the thoughtful connections make it easier to fit than other cameras I’ve tried, with a better picture as well.
Only things that could be improved in my opinion:
– a connector for the power feed would be nice, I had bullet connectors on hand so used them.
– a multi position switch for the different video modes to help with troubleshooting exactly what mode you happen to have the camera in (or have the current video settings briefly displayed on screen when selecting?)
