Customer Ratings & Reviews

The camera is easy to install, works good as a backup camera, but I returned because it would be easy to steal, because of how it just clips into the holder.

I already have the Garmin DriveSmart 65 so this was a natural add on. A perfect solution would be aftermarket dash display and wired camera, but this is very good second choice. I was afraid that the radio signal would be poor, but it has worked out great. The picture is great, especially on the 6.5” screen. It was easy to install, just mount it behind the license plate. I will say the 1996 Jeep Cherokee and 2009 Camry are little on the tight side with the plate recess, but it mounted well. I would have liked to mount it above the plate, but the mount allows you to put it above the top or or front of the top of the license plate. I deducted a star because the GPS doesn’t always connect. I realize it's the vagaries of radio connection, but every once in a while, and it always seems like when you really need it to in a strange place, it decides that it won't connect. The “wait” indicator just spins until it declares it can’t connect, check batteries, etc. The next time I turn the car on (where power on default is to connect to camera), it always works just fine. It is not enough of a problem that I regret buying it. I have had it 5 months and changed the batteries once. It is on it’s second set of batteries now (and driving much less due to COVID-19.) It works well and I’m glad I bought it.

The quality of the camera picture is great, even at night but it does have its shortcomings. My install is in a cargo van and it doesn't automatically come on when backing up which isn't a problem because you just touch the camera icon on the screen and it tries to pop up. Most of the time the video feed isn't instant so you either wait until it loads or start backing without it. Since it is using a wireless connection there is a little bit of a lag in the video so go slow when backing up to a pole or something so the video can keep up. No regrets on my purchase, it does what I need it to do and was easy to hookup. No wires..

I was planning on installing the BC-30, but it would have been difficult on a Tahoe because the reverse light are so far from the license plate and access is not easy. So I bought the BC-40 and it works fine. The camera can see in the dark well with only the reverse lights for illumination. Really handy when backing up in unfamiliar parking lots and avoiding trees in fields.

It’s user friendly if you know what Garmin gps to paired with, easy to set up . My only complaint is, I have to take it out every time I park it because even an 8 year old boy can take it from the base in your car license plate, and bye bye your $100 plus dollars. I will figure out someday what I will make to secure it that at least somebody who wants to take it will need a screwdriver or a pliers to remove it from my plate number.

Nice to have a backup camera on my van. Just wish there was some kind of lock, when you go to a store or any wear anyone could walk by and take it off. so I take it off each time.

Once this is calibrated, it makes reversing easier. I have an older vehicle without a factory backup camera. Due to the shape of the truck, it is hard to gauge how close the trailer hitch is to any unsuspecting obstacle. My apologies to the tree and fence post. This paired easily to my Garmin GPS and the calibration was a breeze, using the app. I should've bought this sooner. Again, my apologies to the tree and fence post.

Backup camera works great. Best of all no wires or drilling. Gives my car some added functionality!

Fantastic backup camera. Works great for the back of my Vette that I cannot see behind. Great clarity on the GPS that it is paired to. Easy to install.

Works ok so far. Wasn’t stolen yet, I attached it to the plate with additional Velcro loops to prevent loss. Works great with garmin drive smart 55. Using lithium aa batteries

Love it! Easy set up, works great and is very helpful when backing up in my work vehicle

I don’t like the ease of removing it. I think Garmin could have made it more secure from theft. That said, it was easy to set up and connects every time with a clear image.

Bought this to replace the BC-30. This BC-40 installed easily and provides a clear wide-angle view. It is much more compact than the BC-30 and gets through a car wash without being bent or damaged. So far, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Really love this backup camera. I have an older Acura with no back up camera, added a Garmin GPS with hands free phone capabilities and then added this back up camera. It even shows you when to replace batteries.

This is a great option if your car does not have a back up cam preinstalled, connects to GPS, nice and clear, also using Geek Squad makes it easy, happy customer

This camera has a very good field of view (170 degrees), and it is very easy to install (no wires, just batteries). It pairs very easily with a Garmin GPS. I have been using regular alkaline batteries for almost a month now, and the camera still works. I bought lithium batteries but haven't put them in yet because the alkaline batteries are still doing fine.

Screen quality is surprisingly good. Wireless range is over 30'!

RANGE RANGE RANGE I had a 20' trailer and a Tahoe, I could connect all the way up to the rear passenger door but as soon as got to the driver's door, that was it! You'd think they could have boosted the strength at least another 10-15'. IF you want it for a car/SUV, not a bad choice, decent picture and linked w/Garmin GPS

I have always been a Garmin fan. When they came out with a backup camera I immediately ordered one. I am using it on my second vehicle now.

So use full on old model cars , it connects fast to the garming gps via Bluetooth
