Works good but poor instructions
Mark O from TAMPA, FL on 1/9/2023
It works! Wife is happy! Not too bad to install. Directions were impossible to read; 2 pages condensed to 1 small sheet. Had to get on internet to get a readable version. Did not explain that "parking guidelines" were actually the dynamic lines that are supposed to help you park.
Pros: Good display with lights for night
Cons: Horrible directions; unreadable and vague. Also, display flickers when brakes applied.

Not a bad back up camera for the money. Install took me longer than the radio but was to be expected.

Cons: The screw to adjust the camera stripped immediately when trying to adjust the camera. Now I just have to hope going down the road the camera doesn't come out of whack when hitting bumps

Todd from Bel Air, MD on 11/29/2022
Clear picture in the day time, a bit pixelated though. Night camera is too contrasty, kind of hard to see. Hook up instructions were poor. Crutchfield says they give you customized insertions, but that isn't true. Tech support wasn't able to help me get it hooked up either. They didn't know the product at all. Figured it out on my own that the camera has a power lead off of the RCA plug that I had to tie into the harness.
Pros:
Cons: Mostly blocks the trunk release.

Alan from Lenoir City, TN on 11/29/2022
Works well, very clear and wide view, instructions are lacking some, and lines that show up upon backing are a little goofy the way they try to follow the vehicles movement.

Andrew from Kingston Spgs, TN on 10/7/2022
Overall, the quality of the unit itself, packaging, supplied materials, extra parts, etc. are all excellent. The picture however is pretty fuzzy, and seems to have some interference. It works, but there are likely better (probably more expensive) options.
Pros: Relatively easy install Solid construction Fits well.
Cons: Picture, not so great

Pros: Easy to install
Cons: Large fuse on one side, RCA connection on the other, made it tough to pull the long part of the wiring through tight spaces.

Lee from Imperial, CA on 6/17/2022
Really impressed by the clearness of this camera. Easily hooked it up to my Sony deck for a clear pic of what's behind me. FYI, on the camera cable, at both ends, there is a short 20 gauge red wire that needs to be connected to the excited reverse light wire. Boyo only provides a short piece of that wire on each end of the camera cable, meaning, it does not run the entire length of the camera cable. So, I connected those two short pieces of red wire with approximately 16' of 16 gauge red wire (cuz it's all I had), so I wouldn't have to tap into the reverse light wiring at the back of the vehicle. Thank you Crutchfield. God bless, Jesus saves.
Pros: Easy to mount and wire up.
Cons:

2014 Subaru Outback Premium 2.5i
Crutchfield customer from Milford, PA on 10/24/2021
Excellent product, Easily mated up to Boyo VTM43TC mirror. Instructions from Crutchfield site now accurately describe connections. Do your bench testing, labeling connections to your own satisfaction prior to install. Learn the remote and options at your bench. There is a great YouTube on the hatch work needed to install the camera with NO holes to be drilled. (2010 - 2014 Subaru Outback Backup Camera Install) Run the single cable forward under driver side lower sills. This brings the necessary connections to Boyo VTM43TC mirror right beside the dashboard fuse block. (another helpful YouTube on removal of A-pillar trim). I left the temperature sensor up in the cabin under the headliner eye glass holder, for inside temp display, the Outback has an outside temp display. Compass calibrate worked easily for me. So finally, the In use rating is a full five stars, clear, crisp, colorful, responsive active guide lines, on display both day and night.

Easy, and not bad at all.
Chris from Brownsburg, IN on 10/23/2021
I couldnt mount it on top of my license plate due to the trunk lid fin was too low. So I put it in the bottom license plate screws, and it works. I really thought since it has built in LEDS, that it would be brighter. The Lines pop up and curve when I'm backing up. I dont think its as sharp as I like though. The price was right. Installation was easy, but I may shop around for a different one I can mount instead of using the license plate frame. It works, and works well. Just my honest review.
Pros: The price was right. Installation was easy. The Lines pop up and curve when I'm backing up. It works, and works well.
Cons: I couldnt mount it on top of my license plate due to the trunk lid fin was too low. So I put it in the bottom license plate screws, and it works. I really thought since it has built in LEDS, that it would be brighter. I dont think its as sharp as I like though.

Perfect for 2013 Subaru Outback
Crutchfield customer from Lawrence, KS on 9/12/2021
Replaced the head unit in our 2013 Subaru Outback that did not have a back up camera. This worked well, picture is clear and the added LED back up lights are a nice bonus. I'm pretty comfortable with wiring and trim removal so for me this was not too difficult however it was relatively involved . In order to do it properly, because this is a hatchback you need to remove a lot of trim and do wiring. If you are not comfortable doing this I'd suggest getting professional help. The camera works well, fits nicely and the added back up LED's are a nice addition. Clear video too.
Pros: Fits well Good video Backup LEDs
Cons: Install is involved

Great for a budget camera
Crutchfield customer from Wilmington, DE on 6/7/2021
For the price I am very happy with this camera, it sits above my license plate. It was a bit tricky to wire the power and ground to the reverse light, and the wiring diagram was a little confusing, but after some studying and watching some youtube videos it was easy enough to figure out. This unit hooked up great to my new 3rd party head unit, I like the guiding lines on the camera, they change direction when you are turning. For a budget camera, I recommend this one. I did have to drill a small hole in the trunk to wire the harness to the inside of the car and up to the head unit but it wasn't too bad, the camera came with plenty of wire to make it to the front with plenty to spare. The picture quality is good, it's not phenomenal, but it does the trick as a parking aid. The LED power wire tore out of the wiring harness as it wasn't super well soldered on, but I was able to use posi connectors and splice in.
Pros: Good quality Plug and play into head unit Wide angle Good parking aid
Cons: little tricky/confusing to wire up Not the best quality picture

Great camera, food price and options.
Crutchfield customer from Lynnwood, WA on 5/12/2021
Camera works very well good clear picture. I partnered it with a Sony Ax5000. The length of wire was great. I did get extra length because I was running in my RV. Camera came with female to female connector making it easy and saving money. I intalled it up high on my RV so I just used the license plate bracket as a adjustable mounting bracket. The camera is attached by a screw and but to the bracket allowing you to flip it around and adjust the angle. Which I did in my case.

Great Camera. Install not fun.
Crutchfield customer from Westminster, MD on 3/29/2021
Great camera. Great picture. Active backup guides. Install was not easy. Mounting the actual camera takes two minutes. Running the wires under the truck and getting the wires inside the cabin is not fun. Once inside there are a few wires that need tapped into to provide power and to turn on when car goes into reverse. The directions were very vague for this part and required some tech support help finding the right wires to tap into. I highly suggest getting some "T clip" wire connectors. I don't think I could have made the connections without them (in the kickplate and fuse box area...tight spaces with zero slack in the factory wires). Required some fishing of wires from the head unit/wire harness to the fuse box and driver's side kickplate. Installing the camera and wiring took as long as the head unit itself....maybe longer. *installed with Alpine iLX-W650.

2014 Nissan titan SV. Great product I'm a very happy customer. It was a pain in the butt to install but thankfully the representatives at Crutchfield were only a phone call away. Todd from Crutchfield help me out the whole way.
Pros: Great view and the back up lines are awesome.
Cons: Very difficult to install I found myself having to spice into wires just to get it to trigger into reverse. You will definitely have to call a Crutchfield agent to walk you through it if you don't know anything about electronics like myself.

Crutchfield customer from Sugarcrk Twp, OH on 1/31/2021
Great mounting options, but wiring harness could be better. There are small power leads which need to be nine feet longer from the camera in order to connect power and ground to the camera. I had to splice extension wires to complete the task. Easy part is connecting into back of multimedia receiver and connecting remote trigger wire. When all was said and done it worked as advertised. The LED's make for a very bright image, which is difficult under some lighting conditions.

Easy to install, clear image when backing up and works well with my Sony headunit. Installed in my 1996 Buick Roadmaster wagon and had plenty of cable to run to tailgate. Mounted behind license plate so not even noticeable unless looking for it.

Crutchfield customer from Riverbank , CA on 1/27/2021
Really like the LEDs that light up when camera is activated. Camera quality was pretty good but lacks in the rain but all in all good unit
Pros: LED lights for low light. Great video quality. Attaches to licence plate so no drilling required.
Cons: Video quality lacks in the rain but still visible.

Jittery Picture!
Tom from Lebanon, NH on 12/23/2020
I wish I bought something else, i was going to pay a installer $150 to install it, but he was 4 weeks out. So I did a temp install, everything works, but the picture is jittery... I'm not going to pay to have it installed at this point, researching a better camera.
Pros: Easy install after you figure it out
Cons: picture is very jittery!

Good product, vague directions
Crutchfield customer from Lewiston, ID on 12/13/2020
The picture is great given the price of the product. I like the options for the led and parking lines. The wires for positive and negative are extremely small gauge making it a little harder to tap with the larger power/reverse/ground wires. Plenty of length in the rca, have several feet coiled on my full size GMC Sierra crew cab short bed. Would definitely have enough for a crew cab long bed. I also got one for a front facing camera as my truck is lifted so it helps in parking lots. On a side note, if your vehicle has a step bumper and the license plate mounts at the step, it's hard to get the right angle without part of the picture obscured by the step. May mount a different way
Pros: Cost, picture quality, led lights and options for configuration.
Cons: The directions suck. Crutchfield please make a video explanation of this exact unit! Not too hard for someone experienced with electronics but a novice will be lost

Nice camera
Crutchfield customer from Simpsonville, SC on 10/19/2020
Very nice camera for the price I got it because of the grid lines and lights works great. Just wire the power leads at the camera to the backup light positive and you will be good.
Pros: Lights, and grid lines
Cons: The enclosed wiring diagram is not very clear on the power side.

Crutchfield customer from Wichita, KS on 8/13/2020
Works well with my stereo, do LED lights look cool but I'm not 100% sure how much they help. I was surprised on how well the guiding lines were. The LED power line was a bit short, but I did put it in a big vehicle. The directions could have been a little bit clearer. I did like the small back with adhesive vs. the license plate bracket. I did have some confusion and submitted a ticket. I figured out what the issue was 5 minutes after I sent the request, but the support for the camera did respond timely.
Pros: Small bracket LED lights Easy install Good support
Cons: Needs better directions

Not reflective on Crutchfield or their customer service. We called for technical support and ensured we did everything correctly as the instructions were minimal and the camera wasn't functional. We preformed all the steps mentioned by both tech support and it's still not operational. I believe I received a defective camera, which is said to happen on occasion with the Boyo VTL17LTJ. I'm taking it into a professional for further inspection. I will update my review if it's an operator error.

Works great
Crutchfield customer from Clarksville, TN on 6/14/2020
Camera has a pretty good picture. Instructions are a little misleading with the red wire connection with the RCA input, however I managed to figure it out. In my application I had to leave the red wire unhooked to make the camera work properly with the head unit. The responsiveness of the lines on the camera are a little slow so you may opt to cut the wires to eliminate them. Over all for the price it is a nice setup.

Great Camera, Easy Install
Crutchfield customer from Temecula, CA on 6/8/2020
This backup camera is great and easy to install. I purchased a Pioneer stereo, a JBL powered subwoofer, and this backup camera for my daughter's car. The kicker for my daughter is she had to install everything. The instructions that Crutchfield provided made the installation almost effortless. My 15 yo installed the stereo, subwoofer and backup camera while I watched and provided the occasional direction. The camera is clear and the lines are accurate when navigating backwards. I definitely recommend.
Pros: Easy install Great picture
Cons: none so far

Crutchfield customer from Damascus, MD on 4/24/2020
Unit works very well, surprisingly even the active parking guide lines that turn as you turn the wheel. The only reason I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars is the directions. First they are so small (I mean like 3 point font small!) you have to use a magnifying glass to see them; second, they do not explain the connections very well (red camera power wires vs. red trigger wire - Ps. they are internally connected and are the same; your choice is in how you wire, depending on if you want the camera always powered up (in this case connect the red wire attached to the yellow RCA plug to switched radio power; do not use the red wire in the red/black pair, and direct connect your receiver reverse sense wire to the GEM ) - or - if you only want the camera to only power up in reverse (in which case you will probably see a few second lag before you get video when you shift into R) Connect the red/black pair to the reverse light and ground per the BOYO directions, and connect the receiver reverse sense wire to the red wire attached to the yellow RCA plug. Likewise there was no mention of the green wire (which is for the integrated LED power in the Boyo VTL17LTJ - which I hooked up to the reverse signal so they only come on when the vehicle is in reverse). I had to contact Crutchfield TS to get this sorted out but in the end all was fine.

Good Backup Camera
Crutchfield customer from Sonoma, CA on 4/20/2020
Really neat backup camera. Really like how easy to install no drilling required on our vehicle. Good picture, lines have cones on the outside of them, not sure yet if I like that blocks a lot of the view from the camera.
Pros: Easy to install, good picture
Cons: Cones next to backup lines kind of distracting

review camera for 2012 vw beetle
Crutchfield customer from Seven Hills, OH on 4/5/2020
I bought this to add rearview functionality to a 2012 beetle. Installation is pretty simple. YOu splice into the reverse parking lights, and run the line up to the video receiver up front. The camera has good resolution and has parking lines. The parking lines turn when you turn, though it is a bit delayed. For the price though, the value can't be beat.

Good Camera
Crutchfield customer from Hamilton, OH on 2/24/2020
The image is good on this camera. I couldn't get the direction lines to work, so I just turned them off. On my C240, the position of the camera initially blocked the trunk release latch. So I ended up snipping the bracket, drilling a hole in the center, and mounting the camera over one of the screws. It was easy to do and doesn't really change the view that I see in the car. The backup lights are nice. They light things up at night so I can still easily see what's behind me.
Pros: Good image. Easy to install.
Cons: Blocked trunk latch before bracket modification.

Picture quality is so so at the best. I unhooked the parking lines and I'm using the ones built in the kenwood head unit . This camera is not hatchback friendly at all. If I had to do it again wireless is the way to go. In my 05 Santa Fe there was no room for a wire with a rca plug on the end to be ran into the car from the hatch .
Pros: It does it's job
Cons: Parking lines were a bit of a pain to use, I like the ones in the radio better
