If you have or are considering buying a CarPlay device to upgrade your radio/GPS capabilities, I strongly recommend you consider this extra option of a back up camera for your vehicle! I was not totally sold on the need for this device, but was given pros and cons by my Best Buy tech, and decided to complete my CarPlay Package with this camera. It automatically shifts your cars display when you put your vehicle in reverse and it is truly an amazing display. It has been helpful in my judging available back up distances I can go in reverse safely, but also gives accurate spacing when determining width in back up spaces! I put this together with my Kenwood DMX 7709S and it works terrific with my complete car upgrade that I have recently done. If you have an older vehicle(like my 2009 Honda) I recommend you consider adding this to your installation package, which Best Buy does a super job doing when you order the CarPlay installation service! Best Buy overall did a and outstanding job wiring the back up camera in addition to my CarPlay system, and I am very pleased with my cars upgrade!

Easy upgrade for Jeep Wrangler JK

I was reluctant to install on my JK not knowing how bad the offset would be given the license plate on JK is off to the side. I've seen several that mount within the spokes of spare tire for JKs, but I wasn't able to pull that off with my spare tire setup. However, as you can see in attached photo, the offset really isn't that bad with the camera being positioned off to the side. You can still see a hitch ball if installed, and most aftermarket head units have parking guide adjustments that you can tweak to more accurately reflect camera angles like mine that are offset (used with Alpine ILX-W650). I did cut the wire for the built-in grid lines that are generated by the camera by default since my head unit has better ones that are adjustable. Picture is clear and no issues with flickering or graininess. I was able to easily tap into the reverse light by license plate for + and - which left just the RCA video to run to the front. This is super easy in a JK as the trim and carpet easily comes out of the side all the way to front making it quick and easy to run a small cable like the RCA video. Only reason for giving 4 stars is the weld on the camera mount that connects the adjustable "neck" came off from the license plate bracket during install. I was able to fix by running a screw threw the neck into bracket and then into license plate backer and that fixed it. Could be just a weakened weld, but that was my only complaint. For $60, it's a great upgrade that adds peace of mind when backing up.

My friend recommended i install a backup camera after i blind-bought a truck that had an extended cab with a long bed ( i told myself i would never buy a truck again with a long bed and yet here i was, anywho...). Luckily, my stereo had backup camera compatibility and needed the actually camera. The instructions were a bit hard to follow, but after testing it, i was able to figure out what needed to be connected. Wish it came with connections so i don't have to cut wires. The video comes clean, but seems disproportionate? Hard to explain. It might be the location were it is installed, but because my licenses plate in located lower, its hard to tell if im about to hit something. Might be the radio though, but i suspect its the location. Wish this could have an option to install on the tailgate handle (I know, it says license plate on the title).
