Passat 05 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I've been reading in a lot of threads here about reverse cameras used with the Z1. It would appear that there is a high frequency of cameras not working or not lasting. The Pioneer camera is named several times as not being reliable and other cameras crapp out as well. Price doesn't appear to be the determining factor. [b]Question: :?: Is anyone having success with their camera installation? Can anyone recommend a camera? Has Pioneer come up with any answers?[/b] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 My pioneer back up camera works just fine. I love mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 My Pioneer camera works great. I have seen dozens of them installed and never seen a single one not work so I am not sure why they could be called unreliable. Probably installed wrong [quote name="Passat 05"]I've been reading in a lot of threads here about reverse cameras used with the Z1.

Some here did have them fail after a month or so, but I would bet they are the minority... and when they posted the problem, it sounds like a bigger and more previlent problem than it really is.

06SaleenX Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 (fingers crossd) mine works fine as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tacoma Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Mine (Pioneer) works fine and has for several months. Rain, car washes, regualr wear-n-tear has had no effect on performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Navyguy Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Mine worked fine for awhile and not any more. It is correctly installed. The install is not that hard. Hopefully someone will bring theirs back to life and we all can live happily ever after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lowriderman3 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Yea sounds like Pioneer must have issues with their cameras. The install is to easy to do wrong. I Just bought one off of eBay, so we shall see how it performs. It was not the lowest end one, but not the higher end one either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aziator Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Had mine installed for quite some time now (Sometime in April), no problems at all. I got it off Ebay for $150. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
