STO Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hi All, I finally had my backup camera installed on my 03 Yukon. I'm not too sure what brand was installed but am pretty disappointed with the quality of the camera. My first backup camera experience was from my 06 Lexus IS250 and the quality on that is pretty good. Are there any cameras out there that will produce great video quality or will the picture quality depend on my d-2 unit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STO Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I was thinking of something like this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/License- ... 5434QQrdZ1 Any of you guys installed this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobmun Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 looks like a pretty flimsy piece of plastic. do a search there is a member of this forum selling a higher quality metal frame camera that will attach to your license plate. look here: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4211 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aconite Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I have a similar one http://www.crimestopper.com/platecam.htm Mine is the bar frame one. I am more than happy with the image, and although not designed specifically for night use, I can get a pretty good b&w image at night and my reverse lights do good enough job to illuminate what is behind me. I am very happy with mine and if installing on another vehicle, I will get another one of these platecams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NOIRtist Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 What about smaller hideaway style cameras? For those of us who dont want one mounted on our plate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

powa Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 question, how does back up camera work if i drive a manual transmission car? supposely for automatic, the avic will switch to camera mode when going to reverse gear, how is it going to recognize that if i drive manual car?

cntrylvr79 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 The same way the reverse lights come on, in a manual trans car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STO Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 So I ended getting the Boyo camera installed. Picture quality during the day and night are awesome. Almost as good as the factory installed backup camera on my Lexus IS250. http://www.autotoys.com/x/cust/product. ... uctid=6621 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
350zx6r Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I just got it installed a few weeks ago and its awesome, bit pricey tho but I dont think I would be happy with anything else. Will try to get some pictures tomorrow. later for now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
