Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The unit I received may be partially defective but it is difficult to know if this is due a failure or poor design.
The monitor comes with two power cables, one for a permanent wired connection and a second for cigarette lighter/power port connection. I have not been able to get a picture from the camera with the power port cable even though the monitor does turn on. The first power cable has 3 wires. One for ground, +12 volts, and a blue wire which connects to the backup lights. The blue wire functions as a control signal to automatically turn on the monitor when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. When this cable is used and the blue wire is connected the monitor will receive the picture from the camera.
The buttons for changing brightness, color, and picture rotation are frequently non-responsive. If you are able to rotate the picture it does not stay in the orientation selected after power is removed and then restored.
The user manual is a two page document which is nothing more than a how-to for connecting the wires, a list of included parts, and the name or function for each of the push buttons. No information on how to operate it. The manufacturer's website has nothing more than the two page user manual and an option for emailing tech support. There is no list of FAQs or support forum.
It took a long time to get this product and if I had more time before the trip I purchased it for, I would return it. I would not buy this unit again.
