Very pleased with the quality and simplicity of installation. I'm using this with a garmin 76 on my dump truck with a 17ft bed. No issues with the signal strength. I would buy again. We

Pros: Easy to install.

Cons: A little pricey for no night time vision.

Satisfied

I bought this to use on my F-150 with camper shell. Those extra panes of tinted glass made the standard rearview mirror pretty ineffective. I elected not to spend the extra $100 for the "night vision" model. Fortunately, with back-up and/or brake lights, I found that there's usually enough light to get me by. To be clear, this unit is not truly "wireless" but installation was straight forward and performance is good. There are actually 2 wires coming from the camera. One is for power and the other is a cable to a separate small wireless transmitter that sends signal to the compatible Garmin GPS (I have a DriveSmart 66). The transmitter, it's connection and the in-line fuse for the power are not "weatherproof" so they need to be mounted someplace protected. For me, I just plugged into the 4 prong trailer connection for power/ground. I used the taillight connection instead of the backup lights. That way, I can turn the camera on/off any time I want ... even when driving ... rather than just when in reverse. I ran the power & video cables behind the bumper and fished them up into the covered truck bed. The transmitter has mounting tape and fit nicely in a back corner of the truck bed ... so no wires to the cab needed. I used shrink tube over the video cable junction for further protection/security. Pairing with the GPS was easy as per the instructions. Daylight video quality is good. Don't forget to adjust the backup guidance lines for your specific vehicle.

Nice compact unit. Easy to set up & install and provides good video on the Garmin Drivesmart 66. The wireless feature makes install even easier.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
