Here is my cheap ebay nightvision camera installed using custom bracket screwed under the license plate.

 

DP, Thanks for the info. Will keep looking and checking. Voodoo (101)

 

Hi! This is my 1st post and I would like to thank all the contributors especially Jagbagri, whose detailed info has guided me to install my own back up camera. This is in response to Voodoo's inquiry about license plate back up camera. Two months ago, I've installed Boyo's VTL200 (frm eBay) license plate rear color camera. This unit has high sensitive 1/3" dsp color ccd built-in, 130 degees 2.8mm pinhole lens, 380 horizontal res, low 0.3 lux (great @ night), adjustable vertical tilt, reverse image, waterproof, operating temp of -4F to 122F, and secure design. It unit has 3 wires - Red (6-12v source), Blk (ground) & Yellow (Video +). I've connected the red & black wires to the left reverse light located under the trunk lid lining and route the supplied, long cable thru driver's side door sills. Connected wires yellow and black (again) to the nav's R10, pin 22 & pin 23 respectively.

I like the unit b/c the camera is integrated to the frame (more like a factory installed) and its secure design - the bolt head(s) are plushed and the nuts are secured inside the trunk... A great weekend project! I hope this input helps...

 

I finally got my Bec 106 installed on my camera for only $65 at Best Buy. But i was wondering once you have the camera installed, and when you access the hidden screen, do the camera check icon still greyed out???

 

What is the SKU number on the camera you purchased at Best Buy?

 

Im sorry for the confusion. I purchased my camera @ Beachaudio for approx $180, and had Best Buy install it for $65

 

yes, mine is still greyed-out, but the bec-106 integrates flawlesly and works well!

 

Is there anyone in the ATL area that has done this? I will be receiving my Eclipse BEC106 soon and will require some assistance (if possible). Please PM me or send me an email. I will reply as quickly as I can. I will compensate you for your time in one way or another.

Thanks in advance,

- Atl-Silver

 

I installed the BEC106 on my 2008 Camry Hybrid. When I shift into reverse, the screen goes black with the safety message, but no picture. Anyone have an idea where the problem may be?
thanks in advance...

Your Camry is noticing that you have the camera plugged into the nav system because it is displaying the message.
Check your connection near the camera.
Did you remove the piece of black tape from the lens? (just kidding)
