Picked up an OEM looking Backup camera worth $700 for $30 :)

[OKLAGMCRUISER]

you'd need a ground, ignition power and the wire for reverse i believe. I think the switch is a dpdt (double pole, double throw)

WOW! I just got home from work and saw the box at my door....
I opened it and...It looked BRAND NEW. It even had the plastic stuck on the screen like when you buy a new screen, all the wires were in their original packaging and the wires were not even spliced...I hooked it up inside and it works 100% and the picture quality is great! So now maybe later this week I'll get it in the Hoe, anyone here install a Back-up camera and recommend a certain way to run the wires to the back?
Thanks!

seems oddly like one of those too good to be true things but if you got yours and it works no problem, i might as well go for it too. just snagged another up on a buy it now for $30

spent 90 mins. today installing the unit and properly hiding all the wires, (triple checked everything lol) WOW picture quality is clear, the radius of the camera is large and I will pick up a switch later this week to help control the unit (Kill switch for cops).

Ill add pics later this week.

Also The seller still sells these for $30 every few days, so I recommend to pick 1 up

Now I'm sitting here trying to find another one of these on ebay.....lol. That's a crazy good deal.

And of course I can't find it anywhere.

 

[DenaliAK]

I contacted the seller via ebay messaging asking if he had more, he did, put one up for sale, and I quickly bought it. $30 and no shipping fee....how does he make anything off of this deal? Not that I'm complaining.

Anthony, I may have installation questions since I suck at figuring wiring out.

 

[jESse]

wheres an easy to access switched power source near the center console area? i wired all mine in today and got it working but its just on a toggle right now. i want a wire to splice into that will just automatically switch it on and off with the key

heres a couple quick pics of it.

 

[DenaliAK]

I've got a Denali and my Traction Control button is right where this goes, so I'm going to have to find a new home for that. I never touch it, anyway.

Jesse, that looks pretty slick. How much of a pain was it to get the dash off? I also would like to wire it so it is on whenever the car is on, so I can use it like an extra rear-view mirror (like RV's use).

 

[jESse]

dash is just held in with little clips. just grab around the edges and gently pull it out. not sure how your switches are mounted up in there cause i just had the pocket but that just popped right out and the screen pops in where the pocket was mounted. took not even 5 minutes to put that part in

i just asked him. hopefully he responds.

 

[wmgood64]

Great Find!!!!!

 

[Timmy]

indeed.

 

[DenaliAK]

Took him about a day to respond to me, and then he only put one up for sale. Might want to suggest to him that there are several interested parties so he does more then one at a time.

The hole that the screen pops into is a little different on my 01. Anyone know if this model will still fit?

See post #1. The link goes to one no longer for sale, but pulls up the info. I messaged him through my ebay account asking if he had more, and voila...I now am waiting for mine to arrive.

 

[NJ04HOE]

I missed out on another one,DAMN!
I emailed him yesterday to see if he had more and he responded today,he said yes and I just listed more (didn't say how many) I went to buy one as soon as i got the email and ordered mine. He has 6 more available as of right now.

I wanted to hook mine up to this monitor since I don't really use it that often and it has it's own power button and multiple inputs....

Here's the link to the other 6 that he has listed right now.

[GhostHoe]

WTF you guys already bought 6 of them? Damn.
