I do not believe the previous writers have one of these units. The cable from the camera to the transmitter is about 10 to 12'. You can purchase an extension of 15' additional wire if needed.

The camera is "Wireless". The only wire is the power wire to the backup lights.

The main base unit and the two cameras have DC power adapters, just like your cell phone chargers. Main base unit has about 6 feet length of cord. The two cameras each has a DC adapter about 6 feet in length also, plus, one extension cord for each camera, also about 6 feet long. The camera itself has a 4-foot long cord (hard-wired) which connects to your DC power adapter. If its too short for the location of your camera and nearest AC outlet, you can use the 6-foot extension cord. If thats still too short, you may have to use an AC extension cord (similar to the ones you use for your Xmas lights). One of my cameras is mounted about 20 feet from the nearest wall outlet. I use the extension cord which I use for my weed whacker. On a side note, its been 3 weeks now where my main unit attempts to connect to the internet. It only connected for one day and the connection dropped and it has never reconnected. I'm 90% sure this is going back to Sams Club where I bought it. I hope you have a different experience with this system should you decide to purchase it. Good luck.

I think the lead on the camera was about 3' and the lead on the transmitter was about 3'. I had to order the extention cable to mount camera on my Suburban.

It is technically wireless other than the quality of the signal from transmitter can be affected by where it is mounted in your truck. I don't remember how long the stock transmitter cable is but if it does not reach into your cab, then you may need the extension cable. I mounted my camera on a Silverado standard bed so I avoided this issue by buying the extension so that I could mount the transmitter at the left top of my windshield, right above Garmin. As I have written earlier, the video quality of the camera is less than first rate. But, it does it's job.

I actually just had Best Buy install the backup camera for me. I am not sure of the name brand, it was one the installer recommended at my local BB. The camera looks really great on the head unit and when I put my truck in reverse, the camera turns on. You have to go into the settings and turn on the backup camera, or at least indicate a camera is present.

I have a Night Owl DVR 8 Camera Security system. All I did was unplug my old camera and plug in this one. No Problem whatsoever. 50' cable. I would return it.

it's plenty long. I have a 4 door Nisan Frontier pickup and I had extra. I think it's 20' per the description. Easy install and great little camera

Sorry no clue. Why not try Walmart Auto Dept. And see if cheap back-up camera from radio display cabinet will interface with your cable. Or Autozone auto parts store usually have inexspensive BU camera. Good luck

The only way I could get it work right was to run the power line to the backup light. Then tie the green wire to that wire under The dash. Run the ground wire to a ground under the dash. Do not run the other 12 v line to power the unit, if you do the unit will stay on all the time with No video on the the screen until you put the car in reverse. You really don't need the green wire. All it does is default the unit to video 2. If you don't use the green wire the unit will show video 1 then switch to video 2. With the green wire tied to the power line from the backup lights the unit will default to video 2. the only power sourse you need for the camera and monitor is the 12 v from the backup lighhts. Take the sorry diagram and burn it. It will just give you a headache. Hope this helps

I mounted a second camera to the rear of my camper trailer. I should have done it a long time ago! The ability to see what is behind you and when you have clearance to move over a lane is invaluable. I had to find a RCA cable long enough to reach from the trailer to the truck (36'). Radio Shack had them.

The camera comes with a one foot pig tail. You have to buy the length of cable you need, 25', 50', 100'. The spec says it will work to around 500'. But if you put several cables end to end, you won't get that kind of distance.

I do not know how you could mount such a camera on the back of a pickup truck, unless it is equiped with a cap, to mount it high on the cap or on the back of the cab. I mounted mine 9 ft high on the back of my motorhome.

at least 20 feet.......heres why....say you have to pull up behind a dead battery car (end to end) you will want the cables to fit from yours to theirs......hope it helps!

The following instruction is for connecting the monitor to a backup camera: -Step1: Connect the Blue wire (trigger) and Red wire (Hot) together, and then connect them to the Hot wire of the backup light. -Step2: Connect V1 wire (Video Input) to the Video Output wire of the backup camera. -Step3: Connect the Black wire (ground) to the Ground wire (or car frame). -Step4: Connect the camera's Hot wire to the Hot wire of the backup light. -Step5: Connect the camera's Ground wire to the car's Ground wire (or car frame). Operation: -When your car is in Reverse: the monitor and the camera are powered up by the car's backup light Hot wire. Note that it will take couple seconds for the monitor to show the image from the backup camera. You may also hear a Beep from the monitor. -When the car is Not in Reverse: both monitor and camera are shut down. Good Luck.

Yes the BC camera is wireless(sends signal to navigator's receiver mount up to 45ft, further with extension cable), There has to be a power source such as your back-up lights so that every time you switch to reverse the camera picks up your rear area pathway. The camera works alongside Nuvi 2798LMT, RV 760LMT and dezl 760LMT. There is no reason why your unit should not work on your truck. If in doubt check with a Garmin tech.

I believe its 10ft. I have a 93 toyota extend cab pickup. The antenna is on the side of my toolbox, passinger side of the truck. The wire comes through the rear vent window down to the floor to the sill plate, runs forward and then under the floor mat to the CB mounted in the center of the dash under the FM radio. I was left with plenty of slack for easy install and didn't have to "stretch" it to get it to screw on the back of my radio. I got an awesome ground with it and my SWR readings are better than it supposed to be. Good luck.

45 feet is most likely too far. I ran a video cable from the camera to the front of my trailer and connected to the Transmitter there and it works fine.
