Just thought I'd follow up. I did end up ordering this camera and installed it today. Install was relatively easy and it technically works but the camera does not pick up the color green at all (anything green like trees, grass, etc, appears as red). I'm thinking that the camera sensor itself is faulty as the green guide lines appear without issue.

I have sent an email to the Amazon seller. We'll see what's what when i get a reply.

I have it too, very easy to install. Mine picks up green, weird.

Brancky I don't mean to impose on you but if you have a moment could you take a picture of what the camera image looks like from your display during the daytime?

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!
