I saw on the Amazon reviews for the unit that someone else has this issue, and the response from the company is that the red tinge is due to the IR LED's being on all the time and is perfectly normal. I don't want them to send me another one of these things if the end result is going to be the same.
I would love to, but I'm about to board a flight to Mexico until Thursday. I'll get one then for you... The image isn't as clear as a regular camera and certainly not as good as the one in our Nismo Juke, but I wouldn't call mine red by any means.

No worries it's not a big deal. Have a good trip!

Do it. Very easy to install and it does a good job.

I agree it's worth it. Honestly, even with the fact that anything green looks like it's from the land of Oz it has fairly reasonable picture quality for a $40 camera. The night vision is a little grainy but it gets the job done and then some. Also, the license plate frame itself is built like a tank which is a nice touch.

Despite the color problem with the sensor on my unit SunValleyTek (the Amazon vendor who sells this) has been accommodating. They had me send a picture of the display image, concurred that the sensor is faulty, and gave me a prepaid shipping label in order to send it back for exchange. The only thing TBD is whether or not they are going to make me rip out all the wiring in order to send it back as a complete unit or if they will allow me to send just the frame itself.

I'm pretty sure everything needs to go, that's the usual with Amazon

Actually I got a reply from the vendor earlier this evening. After taking my concerns about the wiring installation into account they have decided to just ship me out a new package. I can swap out the units, put the defective one in that package and ship it back with the return label they already gave me.

They are handling the situation beautifully and to my complete satisfaction. I could not ask for a more satisfactory resolution or better customer service.

That is reassuring, I guess that explains why this camera has 300+ Amazon reviews and ~4.7 stars. Glad I spent the extra money compared to another camera.

Guys I'm taking it to the next level. Use a naviks along with an android tv box and you can stream movies and more on your car. Connect box to your cell as a hotspot

Installed it on the Drivers side Tag light, and it was pretty dead center in the rear of the car. Picture quality was very good in the day time, and grainy as expected at night, but still very clear. It had line markings that I measured at 1ft and 2 ft.

Simple enough install, positive, ground, and HU RCA connector. Tapped the power wire into my reverse bulb wire so it came on with the reverse lights on the HU. Great little unit for the price.

I went with this one as well. Amazon has them listed for like $15 shipped via Prime. Good day light image and grainy at night. Still gives a clear enough image for backing up at night. Cant beat the price and OEM look.
