Whats a good backup camera for the FRS?
 

I recently got a 2015 FRS and want to add a backup camera. Whats a good brand or website to buy them from? Iv seen a few YT videos and they got them from different places ranging from like $120 to $30, some were even less but those seem a little too cheap. Whats a good amount to spend and where should I get it from?

Thanks!

Welcome to the group, there, GeneralMomo - :clap:

I don't know because I don't need no stinking backup camera. I just back up till I hit something - :iono:

(that's an inside joke - you will get it after you have been here a while - ;))

I have a 2013 FRS and used a Camry B/U camera.

you've worked for UPS too i see? lol, i used to work in the warehouse and would occasionally back trucks up to the docks for the morning loaders. all trucks had reverse cameras, but (surprise, surprise) not all of them worked. best piece of advice i got was "backup until you can't backup anymore".

back to OPs question, i've also been looking at adding a reverse camera to my car. i came across a company selling an OEM style camera with plug and play wiring which is designed to work with factory stereos, all for $129. only thing is they're in australia, and i haven't heard back from them regarding shipping to the states. i've included their link because even though i can't get my hands on a kit (yet), they do a thorough walkthrough of the installation.

bummed, but not deterred, i continued my google search and came across a company in california offering a similar product for the same price. this kit also seems to work with the factory stereo.

A couple of years ago I found one on Amazon for less than $20 that specified voltage requirement between 6V-18V. This worked well with the stock radio (6V required) without needing any adapters, converters or transformers. It has served me well so far.

I put a backup camera in my old impreza, worked a treat. I wouldn't spend more than $40 on a camera.

The one I got was this https://www.amazon.com/Upgrade-KASIO...s%2C256&sr=8-2

I tapped into the backup lights to trigger the camera. It was kind of pain to run the wire all the way through the car in a stealthy manner (I shaved the plugs so they would fit through the wiring loom and grommets) but after an afternoon of work I had the camera setup and running.

I had great luck with The Camera Source via Amazon. I purchased this one over 5 years ago and it hasn't given me any problems.
