AUTO-VOX TD-2 Digital Wireless Reversing Camera IP68 Waterproof Backup Camera Stable Signal Reverse Camera Kit with Night Vision Car Rear View Camera 4.3'' LCD Monitor 12V-24V

Very impressed with this have installed it on a skid steer

Very nice add on easy to install and wires are plenty long enough to route cables

I had a specific requirement for this kit. I did not want to spend £1500 to integrate a camera with the entertainment unit. I also wanted the screen to be hidden when driving and hidden when parked up, this was a requirement because the car is very cute and compact. I installed the screen in the glovebox, utilised a 240v plunger switch to turn the camera on when the door is opened. Running the 12v camera trigger cable from glovebox to the boot was laborious to avoid the folding roof, but not as difficult as reported on YouTube. I shrouded the cables in braided sleeves "fattening" the diameter of the sleeve with automotive fabric tape where rattles might be a risk. I used rubber grommets on the camera cable where it passed through the boot skin, oiling the camera plug to push it through the grommets to limit stress on the plug.Once positioned with the as-supplied brackets (they work just fine), I measured and replaced the camera bracket and the screen bracket with fabricated stainless steel material. I did this because I think the camera and screen are very good quality and I wanted to make the installation as solid and long lasting as possible.I modified the hand-made bracket twice so that I could achieve the maximum view of obstacles close to the bumper (as shown with the hoover tube photo).I enjoyed the installation and have tested it in an Asda car park with all the white lines. I really like the glove compartment activation because I can utilise the camera when rolling forward INTO a parking slot and stopping at the correct position.I have soldered all connections and used heat shrink to double insulate all connections. I have found that the snap connectors can corrode in moist/damp conditions leading to voltage drops after about two years.The instructions book is simple and clear. The packaging is just fine and the delivery was without problems.When I registered the kit (for the warranty) with Auto-Vox I was provided with a contact number and email for any additional questions or problems in the future. It is good to know that Vicky from Auto-Vox is waiting to hear from me if I have any queries or problems. Trust me, this level of support is not normal and I like it!

I bought this for my Jaguar XK. Most XKs seem to have the factory backup camera, but mine did not, and the factory camera cannot be retrofitted at any reasonable cost.The issues I had were firstly the camera size, as it is larger than most. The bracket supplied looks a bit flimsy and would have been awkward to fit in the limited space above the numberplate. I decided to discard it and stick the camera on using a stainless bracket and double-sided tape. The back of the camera is not flat, which made the job a bit harder, but I achieved an acceptable result.Inside the car the bracket supplied was not acceptable as it would either cause an illegal obstruction if fitted to the windscreen, or require to be stuck to the fine leather atop the dash. I made a custom stainless steel bracket that is stuck to the back of the screen, and fitted by Velcro to the black surround of the original Jaguar screen. The final issue was the quite unnecessary length of the cables supplied. I had quite a job hiding it all behind the dash.On the plus side the picture comes on quickly after reverse is selected. It is clear and shows all you need.

This reversing camera is very good, but I did have a bit of a problem with brightness. I had read in other reviews that customer service is very good so I contacted them and received a very quick response from Kaya in support. I was asked to try an adjustment which did improve it a bit, so went back saying it was not great but okay so I would leave it. Kaya came back and insisted I send photo of the screen for her to check herself. She was not satisfied with it and has sent me a replacement camera. After such good support I would have no hesitation in buying from them again.
