Made for smaller cars
Crutchfield customer from Sacramento, CA on 12/5/2019
The cable is low quality and the way it's built doesnt make much sense. The connections are weak and won't hold very well. The 22ft cable is not long enough for a crew cab and a long bed. I wouldn't recommend this camera.

Crutchfield customer from Clemmons, NC on 11/18/2019
Great back up camera. Works as described. Routing the wire was tricky but this was because of the car not the unit. Installation instructions could be a little clearer.
Pros: Great view
Cons: Instructions not clear as could be.

Nice Addition.
Crutchfield customer from Jackson, GA on 10/22/2019
Installation was very straightforward once the backup light wire (black w/pink stripe) could be identified. Cable was plenty long enough for F250 crew cab. Still getting used to active parking lines. Not sure they will stay. Seem to be hyper sensitive.
Pros: Makes hooking up a trailer a breeze.
Cons: Sensitivity of active parking lines will put you in a ditch if you're not paying attention.

Superb picture, very easy installation
Crutchfield customer from Laurinburg, NC on 10/8/2019
Glad I spent a few more dollars to get the Boyo VTL17LTJ. The quality of the picture is superb and the installation and resulting location (behind the license plate so that nothing is obscured) is excellent. Installation on a 1997 Suburban used almost all of the wire provided, but it was enough! Definitely a camera that I would purchase again in the future.
Pros: Excellent image, easy installation without obscuring the license plate.
Cons: The backup lines are not really that useful, as there is no tie-in to the steering column for angle.

Crutchfield customer from Helena, MT on 7/19/2019
I ordered a Sony headunit and Boyo backup camera back in Feb 2019 from Crutchfield (CF). I dropped my car off with the CF ordered equipment to my local shop (LS) for the install. The LS got everything installed however could not get the steering wheel controls to work. They troubleshooted the issue with the manufacturer of the PAC module and both thought it was an issue with the headunit. So I got my car back from the LS with everything working but the steering wheel controls. I called CF, they had me reprogram the PAC module (~2+hours) and wanted to try replacing the module first. After I received the PAC module, I called CF again for programming/install guidance (~2+ hours). At this point, CF realized the Sony XAV headunit was the culprit. After I received the replacement JVC KW-M750BT headunit (Sony out of stock), I called CF again for tech sup (~2+hours). Everything seemed to work well but started having camera issues within a day or two. I called CF again (~1hour), we thought we figured out the problem but issues persisted. I ended up finally taking my vehicle to the LS again. The LS determined it was a bad RCA connection. I went with one of the LS camera units they had in stock vs waiting for a replacement from CF. TLDR: Due to a faulty headunit and backup camera, spent ~7+hours with CF support and ~$300+ in labor at the LS. Despite CF customer service being great, I overall had a pretty terrible experience.

Bottom line. Solid camera
Crutchfield customer from Spring, TX on 5/12/2019
Great little camera. The moving guide line do not really work as well as I had hoped. The light on the back is bright. The creek resolution is great. I installed this on a 2009 Honda CRV and the power wire on the camera side side was not long enough to reach my reverse power supply, so I had to use a jumper wire to tap into my reverse wire, not a big deal. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the moving guide lines.

Crutchfield customer from Raleigh, NC on 4/1/2019
Camera works great. The only downfall of this camera is the quality of the RCA where it hooks into the stereo. Not the tightest fitting RCA so we will see how it holds up over time behind the dash, hopefully no issues in the future. As for the guage of the wiring to hook into all other wires on the truck for power, would just be nice to have something a little thicker, even a 22ga at least.

2008 Jeep Wrangler
Darrell from El Paso, TX on 3/10/2019
I am using this on 2008 Jeep Wrangler and I found some mounting issues with the supplied license plate bracket. I had to remove the camera and install the bracket upside down so it would fit under the license plate light. I found a useful YouTube video to help me find the proper reverse wires to connect to. Since the camera sits on the drivers side of the vehicle and not centered, it takes a little bit to get used to, but the camera has a wide angle and led lights which help at night. I'm using this with a Pioneer AVH-2440NEX so you get a great large screen to view and with the custom Crutchfield wiring harness they made it so simple to wire in.
Pros: Great camera view, extra long cables, easy install instructions
Cons: Mounting bracket for Jeep license plate

Mike from Greer, SC on 2/22/2019
worked at first although the active parking lines are not very accurate. Starting flickering during a heavy rain then the picture went out completely in less than a week. Now it works occasionally but the picture is not always as crisp and clear when first installed.
Pros: crisp clear picture (at first) installs as any other backup camera
Cons: lasted about a week but quit during a heavy rain have to replace it and run the cables again!

Installed on my 2001 F250 7.3 long bed. I was worried that the wire wouldn't be long enough. I ran it along the frame and up through the rubber plug under the drivers foot area. Plenty of wire.

Poor video quality in the evening
Carlo from Annville, PA on 12/3/2018
I used the camera for about three weeks and I'm not very happy with the quality of the video when there's any light in the background. During the day, there aren't many issues. But, in the evening, it's very difficult to make out what's on the screen. There are LED lights built into the casing for the housing, but I have yet to see them turn on; I'm not sure if they work. Even though the installation was fairly easy, I would not recommend this camera due to the quality of the video in any type of lighting.
Pros: Easy installation
Cons: Poor video quality

Works well
Richard from COLUMBIA, TN on 11/26/2018
Installed on 2005 Impala 3.4 Base. Used with a Sony XAV-AV100. Works well, but I did disable the lines. It's nice that the lines are able to be jumped - ie on some cameras, you need to clip the line whereas in this one you can simply remove the jumper or reinstall; could be useful if you ever want to sell the camera/car down the road and the new owner wants to change something.
Pros: Works
Cons: None

Install nightmare in 4Runner
Jack from Chesapeake, VA on 11/26/2018
Not suitable for SUVs w a back hath that swings open. The tethers are way too short making installation an absolute nightmare. I have a 4Runner and online videos show many other backup cameras with less bulky connectors that would work better. Also, if you have a latch release above the plate, this is going to be a nuisance the rest of your vehicle's life span. This would probably be great in a sedan, but in a 4Runner, I have to make several modifications to the factory suggested installation. This product should not be recommended for a 4Runner at all.
Pros: Nice packaging
Cons: Supplied connection not appropriate for an SUV with top hinges

Crutchfield customer from Westerville, OH on 11/8/2018
Unit works well. Instruction sheet ( only one diagram with notations) should be at least two times larger. If you do not have excellent eye sight, a magnifying glass will be required. Also, a step by step listing of instructions with definitions of terminology should be included. Wiring gage is extremely small, making connections difficult. Increasing the wire size would make installation easier and improve strength, doing so would be very inexpensive to the manufacturer.
Pros: Works well
Cons: Too small wiring size. Too small and too little instruction information

The picture is clear, the color seems to be accurate, and the led lights do a great job of illuminating behind the truck in the dark. If it holds up it will be well worth the money.
Pros: Simple to install. Better night vision than my other vehicle with its factory camera. Affordable.
Cons: Poor instructions.

Nice Camera, terrible documentation
Wayne from LOUISVILLE on 10/22/2018
The camera is easy to setup. But the manual is in such small print, you need a magnifying glass to read it. Better to find it online. The daytime picture is clear and bright. I've only had it installed a few days, but I think like the other reviewers that the active guide lines are generally useless and I'll probably disable them. You should use this to confirm your distance to an object behind and to be sure you are clear, but use your side mirrors for getting between objects. Mostly pleased and since my radio supplied a power lead to the camera that I connected to the red lead, I didn't need the extra power wires to go to the reverse light. That wasn't well documented but is a nice feature.
Pros: Good quality picture
Cons: Terrible documentation

Pros: Nice mounting option as well as adjustability of actual camera was an affordable option for my Kenwood unit
Cons: Wiring diagram leaves a bit to be desired, if your not strong with vehicle wiring I would suggest reaching out to Crutchfield for support. The connection leads were not even close to being long enough for installation on a minivan. Backup lines are a bit distracting, ended up using thelines on Kenwood unit.For the cost and quality these are minor inconveniences

Good picture quality
Sheldon from Wellsville, KS on 9/15/2018
Bought to hook up to my Kenwood DDX 9902S receiver in my 2005 Equinox. I didn't want to spend what Kenwood wants for theirs, bought this since one of the Crutchfield advisers suggested. I think it has a pretty good picture day and night. I use the back up lines in the Kenwood, and after reading reviews won't hook up the jumper for Boyo's active lines. I agree instructions are very bad (non existent really) and printed way too small. I would like to see back up cameras with longer leads from the camera for back hatch applications where tail lights aren't in the hatch, especially with such a short reverse light lead. It would have been nice for that to be where the power in leads are. I didn't use the trigger wire (hook up to reverse light circuit) so trailer loads can be monitored (by the passenger for safety) while going down the road.
Pros: Good, clean picture
Cons: Vague instructions, too small of printed instructions, too short camera lead/reverse light lead.

Disappointed
Crutchfield customer from Tomball, TX on 8/15/2018
Overall very disappointed with this camera. I've tried 3 different cameras to date (different models and manufacturers), and am tired of disassembling my car trim and carpeting for having to run wiring each time. This Boyo unit looked good on paper like it was going to be the final solution.
Pros: Pros: great resolution, clarity, good nighttime view, wide angle view, impressive depth of view
Cons: Cons (and the reason I give it only 2 stars): the active parking lines are HORRIBLE. So bad that they are distracting whenever the camera is displaying. When my steering wheel is barely turned, the active lines go full turn, then they refuse to straighten out even when I straighten my steering. I realize these are rendered only via software (not by any actual link to my steering wheel), but the software needs serious fix.

Jim from Penngrove, CA on 8/6/2018
I bought this camera because it has active parking lines that track the trajectory of the vehicle. The lines react pretty quickly as the front wheels begin to change direction, however they are quite exaggerated in that they indicate a trajectory that is not an actual representation of the movement of the vehicle. Further, they're very slow to react (if at all) to turning the steering wheel in the opposite direction. Fortunately Boyo provides a simple disconnect to turn off the active lines. I'm going to play with it for a while, but am pretty sure that I'll end up disconnecting the lines.

This boyo camera is working great in my Impala, allowing me to easily see directly behind the car. The led light are nice touch adding illumination so the camera is still useable in the evening hours. My only complaint is that the instructions that came with the camera didn't explain much, but after watching a few videos the problem was fairly easy to overcome. If your looking for an easy and affordable way to add a backup camera, this would be a solid choice.

Crutchfield customer from WA on 7/22/2018
This backup camera was installed after several hours of chasing a power issue. My biggest complaint is that the printed instructions are horrible and you have to use the online instructions to even read it. Secondly if you use wire splicers the wire is so thin the splicer doesn't cut the wire it just bends. This my chasing power issues for an hour. Lastly the camera sticks up just enough from the bottom mounted position that the tail gate still hits it and moves the camera every time.

Crutchfield customer from Schwenksville, PA on 7/10/2018
waste of money. Worked for 2 attempts then stopped. Not about to unwire the unit out so now it just sits idle in the jeep as a reminder to never buy Boyo ever again. Crutchfield should remove this garbage from their site rather than sell customers shoddy products. Instructions are nonexistent.
Pros: Crutchfield's tech support was very helpful to get it up and running. You will need tech support for this garbage.

The installation was easy except that the length of the wire was not long enough to reach my Sienna van - the reason for the 4 stars. However, everything works well with the after-market dash-in stereo. Great product for the price!

Great camera to help you.
Kevin from Garfield, WA on 5/4/2018
The camera works great, the camera comes with several options including lines, or no lines. I use the clear lines. Night time back up is good. Picture is clear, if you don't want the license plate bracket, comes with a clip. Lots of choices and great picture
Pros: Great picture with lots of options.
Cons: Really only thing I can think is that you can see the camera unlike some of the new cars with hidden cameras

Good Value
Steve T from Biloxi, MS on 4/24/2018
This is a great camera for the price. The installation is simple, but instructions were somewhat lacking. I emailed BOYO about what to do with the extra red wire by the RCA jack and they provided additional helpful instructions within a couple of hours. Hook two wires to the backup light for power. Plug the RCA jack into your head unit and the red wire to the reverse "trigger wire" in your head unit or fuse box and you are good to go. The backup lines are are a little off, but still helpful.
Pros: Great price Picture quality is good BOYO customer support is responsive
Cons: Instructions are minimal Backup lines are a little cheesy

Wow...just wow!
Jon from Decatur, GA on 3/5/2018
In every possible way, this camera has impressed me. Since my head unit has inputs for front and rear cameras, I bought two, and I'm thrilled with the results. The picture is clear, the LEDs provide ample light for night driving, and the camera itself is fairly discrete tucked under the license plate (the front camera is less discrete, but that's to be expected). Installation was as easy as could be expected (you do have to run a cable from the trunk all the way to the head unit, so it's painful in that regard). For this price, I'd recommend this camera to anyone.
Pros: Great picture. Discrete profile. Uncomplicated install.
Cons: None--This camera is a steal at the price it's going for.

Great value
Roper from Johns Island, SC on 1/11/2018
The camera provides a clear picture and installation was not terribly difficult. My only complaint is that the RCA cable and trip wire were about 3 feet short for my installation which was for a Toyota 4 Runner. This required me to purchase additional cable, wire and a female connector. Outside of that it's a great camera and didn't cost a great deal
Pros: Great picture
Cons: Cable and wiring too short

A camera to make others jealous!
Brian from Winter Garden, FL on 1/9/2018
Great picture quality and it's amazing how the lines move when you turn! It's better than the camera that came stock in my Range Rover! It came with a well thought out license plate mount as well as a small mount that I used to tuck it up under the trunk lip of my daughter's prius. I'd highly recommend this camera, the only downside is abysmal installation instructions. It doesn't even show the voltage requirements (prius factory harness only puts 6v to the camera, so this was important for me to know) and some wires are just labeled "trigger" with no explanation of where they would hook to. Once you figure out the wiring (Crutchfield can help you with that) you'll have a camera that will make others jealous!
Pros: Great quality, awesome moving lines, well thought out brackets
Cons: installation instructions are abysmal - you will need help from Crutchfield to interpret them unless you're familiar with installing rear cameras already

Camera is working great! Nice wide view and image is good. Camera is small and not that noticeable. I really like the light - it lights up the whole rear area making things more visible not only on the camera, but for myself when looking in mirrors and over my shoulder. The Crutchfield peeps were great at helping with some install details. Every car is different and there are several different ways to wire these things in. Install on my 06 Explorer was pretty involved - getting the car interior panels apart and wires ran to my head unit required about 3/4 of the rear hatch to be pulled apart, and some drilling. About a 4-5 hour job. Well worth it knowing there aren't kids, pets etc. behind me. My dad had some butylene rubber that worked well in several areas with protecting the wires.
Pros: Works well. Great safety feature. Extra Back-up light to improve night visibility.
Cons: Pretty involved install. Instructions are a bit vague.

Camera has great picture day and night. I would have given this 5 stars but the installation instructions are pathetic. The sad part is they don't need to be. All they provide is a small connection diagram. If you have installed backup cameras before, you would probably be okay, but for a first timer, you will end up calling Crutchfield tech support.
Pros: Great backup camera
Cons: Poor installation instructions
