I am about to buy a backup camera. At this point I think I will purchase a licence plate mount such as this cmos type;

or a CCD type

or possibly a bumper mount cmos type

From what I have read the cmos type is not as clear as the CCD and I am not sure I need the clear pic.

I do know you need something waterproof and I was thinking if you waxed the lens it probably would last longer

before it glazes over.

I heard of one member who thought he might install a camera in the back window. Yes that would keep it out of the elements

but I am not sure if the picture would help when backing up. Interesting idea though.

What do you have? Likes/dislikes and what do you do if anything to keep it running in good order

Thanks

Phone; Samsung SGH-A436

See attached comparability chart

Have you tried paring from the phone?

Yes, all three methods listed in the manual, device search, device list and pairing.

What I need is another Bluetooth phone that I can try. I did find a Avic phone comparability list

buy my Samsung is not on it, see attachment.

I bought a car that has a F700BT installed and I am trying to set up my Samsugn SGH-A436. Both the Avic and Samsung have the Bluetooth features running. I have tried to register the Samsung in the 3 different ways the manual tells you to, search for device, select from a list (not on the list)and pairing. None of these methods work.

The previous owner told me he had installed the latest firmware. I checked and this is whats on the unit

Firmware version 3.010100

Map version 02.000400

Bluetooth version HW100-SW330 RC3

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.
