Mario: I wouldn't consider using the unit in a full time manor. Every thing in life has it's life expectancy. If you were to use this unit all of the time it's life expectancy would be very short. Wiring it to only come on when in reverse would keep it working much longer.G. Rivers: The monitor is approximately 4 3/8 inches wide by 3 1/16 high by 1 1/8 deep

Does the monitor have to be connected to 12V with the clumsy cigarette lighter plug? I want to wire the monitor to a 12V source other than the cig lighter. Dows anyone have any experience with wiring the monitor directly to a 12V source such as the vanity mirror?

there is nothing about the technology that should wear out when continuously on. temp extremes, vibration, and exposure to moisture address the most significant variables affecting useful life.

I want to put this on the back of my camper. 21' will it transmit that far to my car? Possibly 28'

Is it feasible to have the monitor stored in a bin next to the driver's seat and pull it out only when you need it? Then just set it up on the dash just while you are using it. There are not that many times a week when I really need some thing like this and I don't want it cluttering up the dash.

it might be it has a wire for backup camera and we put it in a 1973 dodge pickup, had a wire to touch it and say there was something behind us..i couldn't tell you, you'll have to contact the company on that.

Yes, that is what I did so the display only comes on when the vehicle in reverse. I ran a wire parallel to the video cable and made the connections at the same place as the camera.

You need to have the GPS turned on, If the camera is wired right with the back up lights, the camera will work in reverse gear.

On any radio set with video cable input connected from camera... There is usually an automatic swtching of the screen to show the video input from the rear of vehicle when you are on reverse. However some cheaper radios require you switch to a video screen manually by selecting the proper screen. Double check all required electrical connections and then check your manual for further directions of still not working and all connections were good. If not done... Make sure the video cable is connected to the radio.

You should be able to since the wiring needs to be connected to the power and the back-up light wires in the trunk. The camera itself is on the license tag and it is wireless.

Well for starters you have to run an accessory wire that will turn on when you turn on the vehicle. Then next you have to locate the wire that sends the signal to the reverse light so when the vehicle is in reverse that will power on the camera. The not so easy part is the running of the video wire YELLOW from the camera to the monitor. Some cars you can run it under the carpet others the headliner what ever is easy.

You would connect it to the red power cable at one end and the reverse trigger on the headunit wiring at the other, basically so you don't need to run a separate wire to the headunit to tell it when the car is in reverse.

Yes the backup camera comes on automatically when you shift in reverse. .any back up camera works when you attach it to the unit.

It depends on how you want it to behave.1. If you want the camera and the lcd screen to come live on reverse only, then you want both ends to be powered by the reverse light. Connecting the camera to the reverse light is easy. Finding the reverse light wire on the under the driver kick panel was hard for me. So I powered my LCD panel (and the wireless receiver) using the cigarette lighter. LCD panel has power constantly but it remains dark until it receives signal from the transmitter. i.e. when I am reversing.2. Connect both ends to constant power (to driving lights) so you have continuous view of the rear. It depends on how you want it to behave.1.

Mine was wired to turn on the camera and display when the car is shifted into reverse and off when shifted out of reverse.

The screen is just dark with no input signal. If your backup camera is wired to your reverse gear lights then the monitor will only show a picture when the car is in reverse gear.

No. The camera is always one when the vehicle is powered on. This product does not operate like a factory installed back up camera in a vehicle where it knows when the car is in reverse. The camera is always transmitting to the screen as long as both are plugged in. In certain circumstances, the vehicles lights made need to be on to power the hitch lighting.

I wired mine always on when the key is on. However, if you want you can wire it to come on with putting it in reverse.

No. You need to wire camera and monitor to back-up light power. Not that hard if you can access your.rear tail light.

No Simply connect it to the back up light wiring only!Then the camera will ony activate when you place your car in reverse whcih is what you wanted in the first place!!!

If you can wire it into the back-up light, it will come on when you shift to reverse. If you hook the source wire to + 12V it can be switched on manually or be on all the time.
