I'm out shopping for my 4th reverse camera as the first 3 were fails. I wanted to share with everyone what I bought and why it didn't work. All 3 were bought from eBay for under $15 each.
This was the first one:
It looked great, but it was too long to fit perfectly inside the rectangle box on the lid above the license place.
Then I bought this one:
This one is still on there now. Great image, but as the truck lid is slightly angled (at least mine is), I have a better shot of the license plate and bumper than I do of whatever is behind me. I had to jenky it with a piece of foam to tilt it. Better view now, but looks ghetto and that is unacceptable.
Last week I bought this one:
This one fits great, but the wire part is so bulky that I would have to drill an enormous hole in the lid to fit everything through and I'm not going to do that. I might use it for a camera up front, but the camera box is kind of bulky and I don't think it looks that good.
I'll post up when I try again lol. I'm going to try to find another #2 that doesn't have such a steep angle. If anyone can recommend one, let me know. Thanks.
