I wish it included the yellow line between the red and green - that line would always let me know way ahead of time just how straight I was when backing in - that allowed me to make corrections much sooner

One problem after another.

Sharon from Marshall, MI on 5/6/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Less than 3 months after installation (at an auto shop that specializes in electronics) this camera began to have connectivity issues; screen would show solid black or white rather than the camera view. Only a couple of weeks later there condensation appeared under the camera lens, which is a death sentence for lights or any other lensed item as it eventually completely obstructs the view. After looking into the warranty I found that you have to ship the defective camera to Kenwood at your expense, no refund or anything. Installation- also a bear, as this is not a true backup camera. It is not wired such that it is easy to connect into backup lights as you would a typical backup camera. This is more of an all around viewing camera and I feel that should be made more clear in the description, as it made installation much more complex. Resolution is subpar, colors are very muted. All in all very disappointed in this camera for this price point and in Kenwood. If the camera hadn't failed I might have given it 3 stars for the viewing angle and the separate modes.

Kenwood CMOS-320

Danny from Bay City, TX on 4/18/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The CMOS 320 backup camera is a nice camera. It does everything that was expected in a add on back up camera. Installation was easy and straight forward. It came with a switch that can be used if you bought two cameras and used one as a front facing camera. I didn't use this switch but I might one day purchase this camera again for a front camera for parking. I installed it on a mustang. So to prevent from hitting the lower valance on my car I probably will buy another one in the near future.

Pros: It has plenty of cable length to reach from back of the car to the head unit with plenty of slack. Just have to roll up the extra length and tuck it in behind the head unit.

Cons: The connection between the camera and the head unit connection is the weak point on the camera. I ended up taking this connection with electrical tape for extra security.

Very very good parking camera. I use this as front parking camera on my 2016 Ferrari California T. I love the multiple views: Normal, Wide, Corners, Top View. Picture quality is very good. 5 stars.

Pros: Very good picture quality. Multiple viewing options. Very well built. High quality materials.

Cons: None so far.

Kenwood cmos-320 thumbs up

Crutchfield customer from Salida, CA on 11/7/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Great camera easy installation nice functionality, I own an older Kenwood DNX 9990HD so works seamlessly with the receiver overall picture is good perfect for my needs and the picture options are great wide angle, normal angle ,split corner view , and parking assist lines work well easy to set up the camera also with the added remote button I'd say it was a 10 minute set up but be aware if you don't own a compatible Kenwood receiver you will not get all the functions of the camera keep this in mind so you will not be disappointed in your purchase . The price drop made it an easy choice for me.

Pros: Small good picture plenty of functionality

Cons: Bracket is a little flimsy but works

Adjustable Lines are Great, Image Quality is Not!

Todd from Roanoke, VA on 6/11/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Well....I gave it 2 stars because the parking lines are adjustable and I needed that feature with my head unit. However, the picture is just plain lousy. Today, it was cloudy, but still relatively bright outside at 10AM. There was a dark red truck parked relatively close to me. My head unit has GREAT color and brightness, but the truck looked like a black silhouette instead of a red truck with any detail. I'm stunned it's so bad. I had a $40.00 chinese camera on the car before this one. The picture was sooooo much better. What the heck? Having said all of that, well....it was the only camera I found that had adjustable parking lines produced from the camera. The lines produced by my head unit are not adjustable so they are turned off and I used the adjustable lines from the camera. I had another one of these on a different car. It's been a few years, but I don't remember the image being as bad as the one I just installed. The camera DOES have a GREAT field of view.

Pros: Field of view. Adjustable parking lines. Multiple views, if you need that. Does OK in the dark.

Cons: Poor picture quality.

Verified employee review (What's this?)

This was installed on a 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty. I paired this with the Kenwood DNX696S. I purchased for a backup camera. I feel the camera is great but maybe suited better for a front camera. The mounting for my truck is limited. The picture is clear and you and adjust several options on the camera. I feel with some more engineering on my part I can find a better location than where it current resides.

Crutchfield customer from Louisville, KY on 4/8/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

I have two installed on my Jeep. One rear and one forward facing. Love the small size and integration with my Kenwood head unit. Rear facing install instructions are very straight forward and all the harnesses and peripherals work as intended. Front facing install was a bit confusing because the rear camera was already installed. Rear needs to be unplugged from head unit in order to initialize the front camera. Then both cameras can be wired back up. Crutchfield tech was very helpful as always. Cameras work as hoped and I wish the resolution was better. OEM camera images in my other cars seem to have better clarity and resolution. That said the new set up in the Jeep works great for me, so I'm very pleased.

Pros: Small, fairly straight forward install. Like the four different view angles

Cons: Hoped for better resolution

Camera works OK, but selecting the 4 views only works intermittently using my Kenwood head unit. Crutchfield wasn't able to troubleshoot and suggested we try a new one. Installing the camera was by far the most involved part of my install and I don't want to do it again until I'm sure we've ruled out any other possible faults.

A Great Replacement Upgrade

FirstTimeInstaller from San Jose, CA on 6/28/2014

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Easy to install. The Crutchfield installation instructions were easy to follow. The recommended transition harness worked great. The head unit has all the features that I need and want. Sounds great! Works first time installed.

Pros: A great looking unit that does not over do the glitzy and flashing LEDs etc. The features work great. The Garmin navigation system is just like the standalone units that I have used in the past. The radio, CD, IPOD all work well and are well integrated. Not using the other units so cannot comment on those.

Cons: The transition harness does not supply a connection to the dimmer. Must be there but will need to figure this out. Still looking to get the traffic info on the unit.
