Posted August 12, 201213 yr I was looking for advice on a Backup Camera. I have never shopped for one and don't know which specs I need to be looking for. So if anybody could lead me in the right direction, that would be great! I have a Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD. I'm pretty sure it will accept any input from the Camera. My budget would be any where from 50$, to idk, 200$? I don't really know whats a good price for a good solid unit. I'm wanting to invest into this heavily because its really important. When the new window tints, and possibly a wall in the future, I will need a way to see behind me safely and more efficiently.
August 12, 201213 yr You don't need a backup camera to see behind you. I've had walls and never had one.Take your side mirrors and angle them away from you. That way the far side of each mirror is parallel to your vehicle(when viewing through the mirror)I've got my mirrors angled like this so i can actually see what is behind me when backing up from parking spots without hitting anyone.If you really freaked out.. get a backup siren so people know to move if they are walking by.
August 12, 201213 yr Same here! I drive a long bed truck and do fine with a wall. always slowly back up in parking lots though. Almost ran a lady over because she stopped behind my truck with my reverse lights on and was texting lol
August 13, 201213 yr Just go with the one pioneer sells. I have installed a few with no problems and they work well.

August 13, 201213 yr Audiovox makes nice unitshttp://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_22638_Audiovox-CMOS2.html
September 26, 201212 yr LOL ... Maybe not thenBut the cams he posted pics of is what got me to thinking it was spam ...
April 8, 201312 yr Isn't the backup camera integrated in the dashboard?Maybe you also need an car dash camera )There are many types of car camera, the dual-lens car cameras can record interior and exterior of the vehicle at the same time. some comes with LCD display and some support connection to external displays.
April 8, 201312 yr I use mine in my Tundra All the time. Even before the tint too. Comes in real handy out here in AZ where every parking spot is designed for a Prius not a pickup.J
April 8, 201312 yr Also. I'm considering putting mine on a 12v switch rather wired to the "reverse light" I'm not sure why, but I just like the idea. As I'm typing this, there's a massive skar ad next to the text box. Funny...
April 8, 201312 yr I have one on the ML and it has only two uses IMO. It is absolutely awesome for connecting a trailer and is nice to double check that you aren't backing over something a child may have left in your path. Child could be my wife, the UPS man or even worse be my 4 year old running around.
April 8, 201312 yr Senchez, I have one coming in from DX soon for the tiny blueberry. You should wait until I get this installed to see if it's worth it or not. It was only like 25 bucks.
