I installed this one. A PITA to install, but works flawlessly. Really high quality camera with a nicely detailed image. Even has the back-up lines. You'd swear it was factory.

these exact one stay away, you can get same exact crap directly from china for $100, they dont last. its waste of time you endup taking your car apart multiple times and hope your car doesn't go on fire on the side of the road. The product you have mentioned has no brand no name no nothing

That may be so, but i've had it installed in my car for 7 months and, so far, it's worked flawlessly, even at -35 Celsius. Can't ask for more than that!! Install and forget, which is exactly what I was looking for. In my mind, money well spent!!

only one problem that quality varies from batch to batch , its not like an iPhone that is made in China under strict supervision and out of quality parts.
That's stuff is made in China out of Chinese part without QC

Everything is from china nowadays... They make good things and bad things, you just have to inform yourself on which one is which.

you will not name a single good brand out of china made and designed in china
You do know that iphones are manufactured and assembled in china factory plant, The parts inside your iphones are made in china. Yet Millions own them.
If a product is designed in the states, it does not automatically become superior.

More interested in a backup kit, but wanted to provided FACTS about this.....

Apple signs all its products, "Designed by Apple in California," but in the U.S., the design is as far as Apple is willing to go. The tech giant outsources hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs to countries like Mongolia, China, Korea and Taiwan. Probably no parts come from the United States. BUT... lots of companies based in the US (example: Corning - Glass screens) are based in the US, but products are manufactured overseas. Shipping plays a big part of this...

Read the facts........

Can we go back to looking for a backup camera kit? I'm 99% sure if you do not want a backup camera kit from China, your not going to find a backup camera kit period.

To be honest I would first call the dealer and see how much they are charging. You don't want to install it yourself and end up mis-wiring something and damaging the electronic computers in the car. That would be costly without warranty.

im sure there's plenty of good brands that come out of china, that statement would of been true 10-15years ago, and apple products are over priced garbage that are worth a 10th of the price they are sold.

USA isn't the only place on this earth.. Do some research and you will find plenty of good companies that are from China. Obviously the majority are bad but not all of them anymore, china isn't what it was 10-15 years ago.

i don't have to do home work, if you knew a brand out of chine you would name it easily, for example Lenovo however even lenovo is made out of all the IBM stuff and still licensing from IBM

take your pick, CNR has made good progress with public transportation, few good investement compagnies, in general yes they have poor quality but not everything is the point im trying to make here.. Dont forget china's military has equal firepower development as the US and might soon exceed them.
