Customer Reviews

Crutchfield lied again.

Installed the unit and it will not work with the Sony I purchased. Crutchfield owes me a lot of money and time.

We're sorry for the issues with the installation, Sullivan. One of our Tech Advisor gurus, AJ, worked with Sullivan multiple times to try to troubleshoot the problems he specified. AJ also offered the ability to the return the items that Sullivan purchased. AJ also researched the compatibility with the camera and the receiver, which appear to work together. At the time of this reply, we await Sullivan's decision to return the items that don't' work with his installation.

Backup

This is a great option. I really didn't have a good way mounting other cameras.

this is my second one, unfortunately, the first one got crushed between the bumper & tailgate - my blunder. Live chats were helpful when I was installing radio and camera. Thanks to your staff for excellent service.

SD Image - NOT an HD Camera

Pros: multiple install options Cons: SD not HD; poor instructions; price; low light performance Camera comes with license plate mounting, adhesive mounting and flush mounting. The provided 22mm drill bit was a nice touch. Installation instructions are nonexistent and the website from the "manual" simply directs you to a pdf of the same instructions manual. The biggest issue is that the camera is not as described. Manufacturer claims do not match item performance. Optix (Accele Electronics) sells the camera as having 720 lines of HD resolution, but image signal is SD and displays on my standard definition NTSC monitor. On my Kenwood DMX958XR, setting has to be set to NTSC/SD when set to HD the signal yields no image. I also have connected the Kenwood CMOS-740HD which produces a true HD image. At dusk/dawn (conditions well above .005 lux), absent an external light source, the image becomes grainy and barely usable. If this were sold as a $30 SD camera, this would get a 4-5 star review, but as an HD camera at this price, it falls disappointingly short of expectations.

Poor manufacturer customer service.

Worked fine for 3 months then works intermittently. It's mounted on a black steel bumper and it's blurry on hot days after being parked in direct sun. I had to call them (accele) on the phone and email them twice to get a warranty swap claim started. First they told me to return it to Crutchfield even though it has a one year manufacturer warranty. They still havnt responded to my email asking if they can provide a prepaid shipping label. Crutchfield's customer service is always awesome though!

Directions were easy to follow, product is of good quality, picture from camera is clear and detailed on my JVC screen. Initial install everything was upside down. Easily rotated camera right side up. Easy to align the lines for distance and side to side spacing on my 2003 Mazda Miata.

The Optix TLP150HDW camera is attached to a Pioneer AVH-241EX DVD radio which is used as a backup camera in our motor home. Jason, Crutchfield's technician did the installation and debugging the radio and the camera. The installation works perfectly. World-class performance from a world-class technician the company. Since our return from Southwest Asia in 2010 we have purchased all of our electronic needs from Crutchfield. You can rest assured that the products offered are state of the art at a reasonable price. The technician's endeavors make the myriad of technical issues simple for the user, i.e. turn it on and enjoy. Any tech issue is quickly and easily resolve by calling their tech hotline.

No proper mounting instructions, no directions on set up and use, picture is not that great. Too much $$ for what you get.
