for starters, the 342 people that reviewed it on your amazon link.
with that number of reviews, they gotta give you a good idea if its worth the price.
4 or 5 reviews...not so much. a lot of knuckleheads out there...342 however.:tup:

I was Wondering if anyone tried it lol

RonRizz 07-27-2014 04:46 PM

Ummm yeah, the 342 people that reviewed it on amazon.........I would assume since they reviewed it they have first hand experience with the product.

This is what I got for mine: Car Reverse Rear View Backup Camera for Nissan 370Z 2008 2011 Mode Z34 | eBay

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.

Thanks for the review Chris. I was looking at those on eBay and always wondered if the plate lights would distort the image at night.

Amazon.com : Pyle PLCM18BC License Plate Mount Rearview Backup Color Camera with Distance Scale Line (Zinc Black Chrome) : Vehicle Backup Cameras : Electronics

This is what I have on my car, if you make it to the next NJ meet you can see for yourself how it works. I'm sure the one you posted works fine as well.

They do not. And I even had super bright LEDs in. If anything, they helped with visibility.

I have Reverse Backup Keyhole Car Camera w CCD Infrared | eBay it's a CCD camera so it's more expensive compared to CMOS.

Installed like
http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...amera-dvd.html

That little piece pops right out with panel tool. Watched installer pop it right out. I'm happy with my setup though it is a bit more expensive since I went with a CCD camera.

I have a 09 so I had to get naviks on top of that too.

Minsu, did you end up getting this camera? I'm contemplating getting one of these so if you did I'm curious as to how you ended up running the wiring.

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. :confused:

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.
