(More customer reviews)The first thing I saw upon opening the box is a notice stating that any warranty claim must be accompanied by a signed receipt from an installer who installs car accessories such as radios or alarm systems. What a turn-off! I bought this for $99 on sale at Amazon along with many others as the item sold out quickly. I am willing to bet that most folks who purchased at this price point are DIY people, and are not planning to spend another couple hundred to have this installed. This was not mentioned in the listing on Amazon. I was thinking strongly about returning it on principle, but I really wanted to give it a go and for $99....what the hey.
So after bench testing it, and ordering a 6 foot s-video extension cable, I installed it in about 4 hours this afternoon. If I had to do it again it would take maybe an hour, but the first time around requires learning how to hide the wiring, where to tap into 12 volts, and running the s-video cable to the rear of the vehicle. At the end of the day it works ok, but the picture is on the small side. Still, it should be ok to avoid backing into or over things, and it'll help with trailer hitching. I installed it on a 2007 Dodge Ram Quad Cab and as mentioned the supplied cable was not long enough. A 6 foot extender was $7 plus change delivered from an Amazon supplier, so no big deal.
Hopefully, it will hold up in the weather or not fail for any other reason as I guess I'm on my own with no warranty. If you want a warranty and intend to install it yourself, then don't buy this.
