Great video. You really helped me figure out what camera to purchase. Thank you.
Great review. Been shopping for one of these for a while and now I have even more information to make a decision. Thanks for the great video and info.
Thank you for the awesome comparison video, Now you can do a Best $30 Backup Camera of 2019/20!
Thanks. Very educational and helpful for me to decide what to buy for my BMW 328i.
Question though. does Esky 170 or Car Rover have parking lines? I can see that you have them on your screen. Also, do you think these two will fit BMW 328i (2014). The car does not come with backup camera. I wanted to use the existing screen. Thanks.
Some one below I believe his name was lane fit one in his car, he needed a special part to make it work. And yes they have lines
Thanks, and congratulations to the winner. Love your Mercedes vids. Are you going to change your camera then?
I have the faceliftet C-class '12. Do you think installation will be as easy as on yours?
Thanks.
Spengler Thanks! I did change it out and installing it on your car is the same:
czcams.com/video/X-gt8IOlSZo/video.html
Thanks Raymond. I'm enjoying your Vids. on Back-up cameras! Trying to decide which to order.
GREAT VIDEO!
Raymond, what GPS/BACKUP Monitor do you recommend to be used with the E-SKY 170 Radar Camera that won in this comparison?
Thank you very much for your input. I am ready to order these items.
Dante Rios Thanks. What type of car do you have
Jose Rios Great car for subwoofers!! ok I would install: Pioneer MVH-AV290BT then you will also need Scosche TA2105-B and then you need a harness if you have steering wheel controls you need PAC RP4.2-TY11 Wiring Interface. IF you don't have steering wheel buttons then Metra 70-1761 Receiver Wiring Harness. Then you will need a camera...may I recommend the ESky with Radar lol. Also check out my channel this video should give you confidence:
czcams.com/video/anhNlx3vXBc/video.html
hello love your videos what you suggest for mercedes C200 year 2014 model ?
Nice video. I am looking for a backup camera myself. I have the pioneer sph-da120. Do you know if the cameras tested will work with that? It has the same video input, but i am not sure if these cameras are model specific, or just goes with anything.
Any camera using a rca cable will be ok to use. All of these will work on your car
Thanks. Bought one now. Will be looking forward to installing it.
I appreciate you taking the time, and explaining about these cameras, especially the one with the buzzer. Thanks for your time doing it.
21:00 you mentioned camera #3 (radar cam) wasn't as good quality as the one you currently had installed on the Mercedes. Which camera is that? I want one with the highest video quality.
benefactionhindrance being honest it was a 2 way fight between the car Rover and Radar. You can't go wrong with either of them. I installed the one with Radar since quality was good and it had extra features.
czcams.com/video/X-gt8IOlSZo/video.html
Is the wiring easy to install to a LCD monitor? Do you think it work with a Garmin Gps?
Jay C. Comedy Like any LCD monitor or vehicle specific screen. If you are looking for a REALLY easy and CHEAP good kit I recommend this:
czcams.com/video/F8mNytVYuds/video.html
Question: the guiding grid lines ,is that from the camera or mercedes software? As in can it be turned off?
Each camera has its own grid lines. Some can be turned off by cutting a marked wire
HI ray. Me again..lol..I bought that same car rover for my bmw..When you installed this for your video.were you using a relay? ..as you know,the plug is completely different. Last question...what do you think of the trunk handle camera versions? Thanks. Raymond.
The first time I didn't use a relay. I used a relay when the Sam unit started messing with it. It would work for 1 second then look like snow. I make it a standard practice to use a relay or capacitor now regardless of what make and model
You don't have to tell me..LOL.Really not a big fan on how they set up the wiring on this car r camera..Rather have a separate video wire going to radio..no biggie though..Thanks Ray...Relay going in Saturday..Freakin snowing here..lol..
I watched your program and I’m very please that you went through the effort to run chores which cameras best is I appreciate your effort, Jerry
+TheJerry1946 thanks man!
Thank you for taking the time to show us this it's very useful
Hi Raymond,
I have a 2011 Ford Mondeo LX TDCI Wagon. I have stock park assist sensors on my car, so I really don't want that loud and annoying beep sounding device. Can I use the camera without connecting that beep maker at all?
Please note, I have no idea what a constant power stuff is. so help me please.
Thank you.
czcams.com/video/asew2cQCUgs/video.html
how are you connection the camera to show onto the screen? Thank yo
When hooking up power and ground to reverse light ? Power goes to reverse light power and will ground go to light wire or metal of body of vehicle ?
+dunno yolo if you know which wire is ground then you can tap that. If you don't then it's best to tap the body of the car.
it was a great video, very complete and it gave me a good sense of what type of camera i need for my car.
Hey Ray. Did you make a video on how you ran the wire ( video)to your srceen?? I'm thinking of going through drivers side floor panels..still haven't made it home too install yet.?But ,can't wait. Lol..thanks. ..Joe
czcams.com/video/YwTyKdIqCFQ/video.html
Did you get your part in the mail?
+Raymond Urias ..I believe I did Raymond....My friend watching our place said,that a package had arrived. ..but,I won't be home until Tuesday...Can't wait!!! Lollll.thank you......Joe
Hey Raymond, maybe I missed it in one of your videos. I’m planning on getting the radar camera for my wife’s 2013 c350 and I was wondering what do I have to buy to convert the cameras RCA video output plug to the factory head unit input? Thank you
It is a different process then my car. I helped my friend with his this should help you
czcams.com/video/p0yl1CzctCk/video.html
Raymond Urias - Thank you sir! Your are a true gentleman.
Thank you for making these videos, I have a Mercedes GLK350 and I am looking to add a back up camera does the GLK need power on all the time or just power from backup light?
Thanks
Kev Spellman Thanks, all Mercedes-Benz need full time power or the computer may/ will throw a fault.
Raymond Urias
Thanks
Kev Spellman I just installed it on the C300 you can wire it to reverse lights.
Raymond Urias
Thank you for the update great
Kev Spellman Congratulations you are a winner of Car Rover camera. please send me a private message.
Ray, is there any good wireless backup and front camera dual display? Want to install on my Mercedes Metris. It has only a small radio display, so no navi.
James Bond There are several. If you want a front camera on this car you would need this:
www.midcityengineering.com/product/video-in-motion-vim204/
Then run a trigger switch to activate it. Or you could upgrade your head unit and toggle between the two.

I'm so impressed at how much effort you put into making your videos. As you well know there are some really bad ones out there. This helps me to decide if I really want to install one and which brand if so. Thanks keep it up.
Have you tried the 2.4g Wireless Color Video Transmitter and Receiver for the Vehicle Backup Camera so you don't have to do a big wiring job?
Michael Shetler great that you brought that up! I have tried wireless installs in the past and find that they have ALOT of interference in cities. I know a few people speak highly of Peral Rearvision but at a price point of $500 its something alot of consumers dont want to pay... heck you could get a new Radio and camera for less in most situations.... with that being said Wiring isn't actually that bad. Just takes a little bit of patience and mapping 😀
With the radar camera will you still be able to hear any audio Tone If you do not use the buzzer? I would like to install this vehicle in a pickup truck just not certain on the use of the buzzer and where to locate it due to the short distance of the buzzer chord.
+Eric Alfred great question you can use any buzzer you wish (I personally find this one very satisfying) as long as it has positive and negative leads. You will have to cut the old buzzer off and extended the cables for your truck and solder on the new buzzer if you change it.
Raymond Urias Thanks man, keep up the excellent videos!
My 2009 w204 doesn't come equipped with a back up camera. Is it possible to purchase one and install on the current screen. Note my screen is not the fold screen! ? Thank you
Nope ..... But you can buy this:
czcams.com/video/fAoqfxtAdGA/video.html
😁
Thanks for your time, very good comparison , love the precise tests.
I am glad you do what you do as it makes it easy for everyone to know which is best and how to install Please keep up the good work
+James Donohue thanks man unfortunately this giveaway is over. I have a new video coming out soon with another giveaway. Stay tuned
This was definitely much needed so thanks for this review!! I have a c63 AMG and I've been wanting to add a bc.
+Robert R oooo nice car
just the kind of information I was looking for, much appreciated
+PK I appreciate your comment!
Love your videos! Getting a CLA250 this month using all you footage to do my upgrades!
Congratulations also check out Flexx Alexanders channel he has a c250.
How has the camera and radar combo held up. I looked on amazon and reviews have been growing on issues.
Thanks!!
Felipe Cortes mine is still on my car and works perfectly. You can see it in my latest video
When are you planning on coming out with the best backup camera for 2018 ?
I have a 2014 Subaru Outback with no backup camera. I am using these videos to learn how to do it. This video helped me very much as I am learning how to install my own backup camera. Now I have to find a video on monitors as my car has not monitor either. Thank you Raymond.
+Bernard Gallant Check out other videos in my channel for ideas...but this maybe what you need, unless you want to change out your whole Radio
czcams.com/video/F8mNytVYuds/video.html
I Really like the way you presented your video very simple I can understand and you speak very clearly
I like to purchase the right product for my task the first time! Thanks for giving me a heads up on a great back up kit. You are my hero!
Great work again loving your posts here in the uk
Very cool!!! I've been wanting one for a year or more but for my horse trailer! It's difficult to see to back it up in tight spaces. This would be such a great safety feature for me! Great video....thank you for the info!!
Hi! I just bought a 2015 base Tacoma, and I'm wondering if this would work in it. The radio has a display, but it doesn't run apps or fancy stuff. It does connect to Bluetooth, has direct USB aux port, and has the regular radio stuff. Can you help me out, please?
lohengrinknight they have alot of kits for your car. Just find one with your radio. The base model for that year has 2 different radios...don't ask me why. Check this out:
www.amazon.com/dp/B00KCAX4VU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kXdAzbVDN7W0Q
Raymond Urias Thanks! I checked the link out and that seems to be the right one for my Tacoma. The price is a little bulky, though, so I'm gonna see if I can find them at a cheaper price. Thanks again.
What is the name and model of the number one camera? I have a Volvo XC90 and think it will work well.
Jay C. Comedy Here you go:
www.amazon.com/dp/B01GFW3FP8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_gixyzbKY0J6H0
it's the exact same camera 😁 only $18
When you mount it..does it have to be pointed down or up?
Plug it in to find orientation, then install it accordingly
I'm looking to do a back up camera for my c300 I just got I'm destroyed the c class didn't come with one I had a Acura TL type s before this car and was quite surprised our cars didn't come with one ! Did you figure out a good clean location with the number one camera ? I'm looking to buy a camera tomorrow off amazon lol so need some good reviews and stock location
DRamey86 The bulb replacement one is the easiest to install but quality is not the best:
czcams.com/video/8c1ZdvbrCXY/video.html
Here is what I did with the best one:
czcams.com/video/X-gt8IOlSZo/video.html
I would go with the drill hole method and a rubber grommet don't bother taking the camera apart. I know 4 other people that installed it and they love it.
That one came in what 3rd place ? Did you get the first place mounted clean and good yet ?
Top notch and good work in helping all of us. Much appreciated
I was putting a camera in as I watched your video and it was a lot of help I too liked the car backup radar with camera thank you for the info
Jerry Smith That's awesome!!!
Hi Raymond I had a 2012 C300 4Matic and I wanted to add a back up camera but the screen in my car was a small one so do you think the screen has an option to add a camera or a video display ? I knew how to run or install a back up camera because I had done in my other car ( Cadillac CTS and Acura MDX ) by adding a 4.3 pop up display on the dashboard that I've bought from amazon and eBay and they work really good but this time I wanted to hook up to my car display so it will look like a factory one. I could do the same as my other car by adding a car display on the dashboard with a pop up 5 inches display from amazon for under $50 come as a kit with camera . Thank you
Brandon Yen 2012, you should be able to watch this video I made and check the back of your command unit for the green wire/ port. If you have the port then you can wire it directly to your factory radio. It's really easy to pull your head unit out. The process is the same just different display.
czcams.com/video/YwTyKdIqCFQ/video.html
and this one too
czcams.com/video/MBVBo_U40BU/video.html
Raymond Urias thank you I'll order them an put it on my C300. Your videos will help me
Raymond Urias I kept watching your videos but I missed the part that which camera did you put on that C300 ? Is it an Esky with radar? Thanks
Brandon Yen I installed the radar one, and I know other people that are loving it too. MAKE SURE you check behind your radio first to see if you have the port 😀
czcams.com/video/X-gt8IOlSZo/video.html
Thank you and I will check behind the radio first before I buy it.
And I have I question about that camera you installed in that C300 and you use the right license light and I can tell that it's not in the Center and if you go to park in the parking lot that has a line did the camera show the car in the CENTER in the PARKING LOT LINE ? Or did you have an option to adjust the camera in the set up in the radio to LINE in the Center between the line ? I'd installed a lot of after market cameras that I installed to the license plate after I did it I have to drive to Parking lot at the store that has a Lines and all those cameras don't line up so I had to adjust the camera manually , like bent the camera or go up and down to match with the line of the parking lot . I just wanted to make sure.
Thank you
I'm having such a hard time getting my back up camera led lights to turn on, what could be happening? could you help me with this?
E just me I'll give it a shot, which camera do you have? And what car is it on?
WE DID IT! 100 SUBSCRIBERS! Thank you 👊. I will pick out the winners at random and make a video tonight 2-27-17 with the results!
Raymond Urias u can ur turn of the screen on the
328 .... u can turn of through I drive display settings
El TUPACANASO hey do you know how to do that? I tried and it doesn't let me on the 328i it's a 2016
Hey Raymond nice video bro but I can't find that Esky backup camera with the radar anywhere on amazon... Is it discontinued?
Akin Brown It's not discontinued, everyone is buying it lol. I have emailed Esky and they are working on it. There are other manufacturers with the same product
www.amazon.com/dp/B01F3B91Y6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_f9uFzb3AT64G8
What do think is the best backup camera for a 528i..just installed aftermarket dvdgpsnav 8.8 screen. Thanks for that great video
+joe lane does it have yellow rca?
+Raymond Urias.. yes it does..has pretty much everything..has that extra can-bus box..(I guess that's what you would call it. ). Lol.
+Raymond Urias...Yes it does..When It's in reverse..it switches to backup screen....thanks again..Very informative video....joe
+Raymond Urias ..I was thinking that I could run power to backup lights.and,then run (yellow video cable) to head unit..And then hook that little red wire to reverse signal..what's your thoughts??
The little red wire is a 12v lead. Some installers like to get the reverse signal from within the front of the car and this little red wire transfer that 12v signal to the back up camera. I personally like to go to the reverse light and run a relay off of that. The best backup camera for your car would be the Car Rover it will be in 720p and that screen is in 1080 so it may have slight haze. Unfortunately unless that screen has an hmdi port you will never have a true 1080p camera
Overall, I really like the CAR ROVER back-up camera that you evaluated. Thanks for your hard and informative work!
Hank Warmbier That Camera is built like a freaking tank!
Hi, great video, buy the way that plate is Portuguese from Portugal, how did it get there :D
Could you please double check the Esky Silver link in the description (it doesn't have the radar). Also, did you end up making an installation video for the camera (: ? Thanks!
OVERDOSE I'll check the links tonight and update them.
I installed the radar one on the car and it's still on there holding up beautifully
czcams.com/video/X-gt8IOlSZo/video.html
Raymond Urias did you use transmitters too? Or just the normal wiring? Im trying to avoid having wires hanging off of trunk everytime I open it
OVERDOSE ran the wire. It's not hard, just tie them off in the right spots and it will look factory. I also did an install in a Nissan Altima
czcams.com/video/qV5IApZDvK8/video.html
Really enjoyed the camera review. Great job. I think you picked the best one of all of them.
+roderick bridges Thanks man!
I have been looking for a camera for a few weeks I ranked the same one 1st. I have led tails so night Vision is not a problem I like the radar tech from a few cars ago and I also miss the noise for some reason. Thanks
+Raymond Sinan The radar really does set it apart from the rest. It's been on my car now for almost 5 months and still works great! Its gotten me out of my REALLY tight spots.
I ready enjoyed your video , and it gave me GREAT insight for my car, thanks
Thanks for doing this review man appreciate it keep it up
+DVJ SOUTH Thanks
I had just brought a new Jeep Wrangler I was watching your video and I was wondering which amber is better the ones you have to wire or the one that you can add to your phone.I really enjoyed watching you video and you explain everything very well of hooking up the camera. And if you can remember me for a winner when you do chose a winner, but regardless if a winner or not I will continue watching you videos because I like how you are honest and explain where you can understand.THANK YOU!
Thanks for the information! Very useful. Where can I find more information on how to complete full installation on an 08 C300?
check out my channel. Also make sure you have a Command unit with Navigation.
Been seeing a lot of compliants on these cheap back up camera that with the first rain they get ruined..can you do some sorta test on the winner if rain will ruin it
Thanks
+shlomy reich well if any test mine has been on my car for 10 months and has survived hurricane Irma. So I can safely say these test are complete BS. There is a component in the video line that can't get wet. But since these are all for cars that component will never get wet. I'll do a 10 Month follow up of the one on my car.
Nice job. I have a sm tt and was considering getting a backup camera to assist with hitching ir even to help park.
+LittleLadyk2002 they are definitely worth having on trucks! I pinned a comment on the top for a chance to win a nice kit!
Thanks for the videos very helpful, greatly appreciated.
Hey,
can you make a video or explain how to plug the cabels in the radio? it wasn't really clear in the other video.
thank you for the videos they help a lot:)
Boucif Reggani that's a hot topic so I guess I'm gonna have to lol
Looking forward to it, about to order a camera now:D
Have you seen the video's were they have screen mirroring on their mercedes w204?
Next challenge?
Boucif Reggani yes I have and it is SICK as Fuuuuudge. After I finish the appearance package I'll hit the sound system and install Android IOS... maybe lol
hi Raymond, i have 2012 Mercedes C 300, I dont know whats wrong with my back up camera. it always shows me a black screen when i try to reverse the car. is there any sensor do I need to check?
Sounds like you need a relay:
czcams.com/video/MNWNAC7kNUA/video.html
that should resolve your issue :)
thank you so much also it says in the screen "please check entire surroundings"
Mohammed Alsaysaban yes it needs a relay camera is not getting enough power due to Sam unit
Great presentation and contest
Will it work on a Honda or a Chevrolet truck great videos
Congrats on the 1000 subscribers Bro... nice vid dude...
I wired my backup camera "CarRover" to the 15amp fuse but when I use the backup camera, it shows the "watch surroundings" but the camera itself shows a black screen. I ordered a second same backup camera and that came out black too, so my camera isn't the issue. What do you think the issue is??
Harchintosh sounds like the video cable is not plugged in correctly. Make sure it's plugged in on both ends. Could have accidentally been disconnected
Raymond Urias my mechanic did the installation, he disconnected and connected both to the fakra cable and to the camera. Could it be anything else?
He must not know what to do then.....just saying . If its not a cable issue then i would recheck his connection behind the radio. He/She may have accidentally plugged in the factory farka cable to the Y adapter. there can only be one video source plugged in. If its not any of that then try reprogramming it again. and its not that then I cant help you with out actually being in the car and checking every connection.
I need one for my 2016 Toyota Corolla. Any suggestions? By the way it has a screen already
+Mariceeel I JUST DID THIS haha but the customer did not want his car filmed. There is a kit you can buy that plugs into the radio:

It comes with everything! Just make sure your radio has that port available in the back. The kit works great, the camera is ok.
Raymond Urias aye is there one that’s compatible with a 2014 durango? That would plug into my uconnect? I don’t have the big 8.4. It’s the base small uconnect system
Great video mate. I'm planning to install one on a "break"like we say here in France. See ya !
Wht part of Florida are you in...
Anybody try to transplant the camera component from the car rover onto the radar one? I'm going to pick up both to see if it's possible.
+Ninth Nihil Let me know how it goes you could make the world's best camera causing an anomaly that suck our universe into a black hole
Was looking for a tip for a backup cam and/or some diy solution. So thanks for the video. :)
+Blashzo Nikolov Im happy it helped you :)

Searching for an easy back-up camera.. thanks for your help.
+Bill Smyth I would look at the M1 and M1W for easy. Here is the video of the M1W

Hi Raymond, The Esky Radar backup camera, will it work with any wifi Transmitter. I can not make my mind up what to buy. I want a wifi ,wireless transmitter with a camera, preferably with nightvision, that I can connect to my android tablet. Dont want to pay more than 50-80 dollars. Any ideas ? Kind regards Kevin
Are you sure you want a transmitter?
czcams.com/video/0Rrdn8xFy0s/video.html
The Esky with radar does not have IR. It has low lux. Which means it needs ambient light to see at night.
Dont you need a wifi transmitter to connect to an android tablet ??
Ok seen your video. That transmitter is shit. I seen you installed another camera auto-vox mw1 with a screen. The thing is I have an android tablet 8 inch and I want to use this as my monitor because I will be using it as my gps also. So im thinking the only thing I can do is use a wifi transmitter. ?? or am I missing something
You need a transmitter to send the signal to the tablet. Unfortunately every single one is complete garage. The only system that I found that works well with ipads and Android tablet is the Pearl rearvison camera
Raymond Urias ok thanks. That pearl is nothing for me because lm in Sweden and we don't have that size number plates.. I'm thinking of now a 7 or 8 inch smart mirror. But they all have there pros and cons. Very hard to decide unless you have an unlimited budget. 130 dollars is about mu limit.
Beautiful teaching from great experience, keep it up guy.
I would really love the back up camera. I have been wanting to buy a back up camera on my c300 for a while now and thanks to this video I know how!! Thanks for the great video keep making more 👍
enjoyed your video very helpful and entertaining at the same time I look forward to your future uploads .Bless
Samuel Epiphane Stay tuned for the next give away 😁
Great video. When you find a NIGHT camera that works. Please advise. I am torn by the best made VS. the radar one. Seen all (?) videos dealing with C300. Now rather then spending $800+ , I can buy parts for under $50. Use my labor. Being retired, is cheap😊
Good job on these video comparisons
Can the car rover camera go in different directions?
What do you mean
Raymond would it be easy to instal the rear camera in a SLK 55 2015
A little more involved. You need a factory integration kit. They typically are about $250
Thanks so much Raymond. I miss your videos.
Dear Raymond. Can you help me out where to get the actory integration kit? Thanks man.
Gracias Carnal ! lastima que ya no venden la cámara en Amazon...voy a buscarla en ebay.
Thank you for the great instructional videos.....loved the way you showed how to correctly connect the wires in the truck. Thanks for showing which camera was the best. Best video I seen in a long time......james and amy smith
Amy R Smith Thanks for the awesome comment!
+Amy R Smith you should enter in this contest we are getting close ... Right now 1/30 chance. Doesn't hurt to try 😀

Hello there, aloha everyone! need some help here if any? I got one of those camera, and ive installed it, followed every single instruction for installation! I have a alpine ive head unit with a reverse trigger, i connected the camera power source to the reverse back up light, and the reverse trigger from the head unit to the + reverse back up light! In the morning is fine camera works ok, powers on when switch the gear to reverse and triggers the head unit to show the back up camera, but the problem is at night, yes! Its When i turn on the tail lights and step on the brake pedal, my head unit triggers to camera even gear is not on reverse, there is no image since camera on powers when i put the gear on reverse! So yeah at nigh when i turn on the tail lights and every time i step on break this happens, it triggers my head monitor in reverse, i tried and check all the wirings, and even replace all the tail light, brake signal light bulb new, but its weird when i remove one of the brake light bulb and turn the tail lights on and step on brake its doesnt trigger my head unit monitor to reverse,! Is there anything im missing? Really need help, thank u in advanced, mahalo!
+Patrick E First I would check that trigger connection with your headlights on and when you press the brakes it seems like you maybe drawing current from the wrong wire. Here is a video how to do that. czcams.com/video/asew2cQCUgs/video.html. The reverse + is where the trigger wire will go and camera.
Hi Raymond, I've bought the camera with radar inspired by your review :)
But unable to mount the camera.
Could you please make a video showing step by step instruction about how to mount the camera? It will be much appreciated.Thanks

Raymond Urias,Thanks for the quick reply.By the way , my car is Honda Accord 2010 LX-P and the tag area is made of non plastic material.As Esky claimed 'No drilling required and easy to install'.Is there any way to install the radar camera without drilling?
Do you have any guidance for me on this? By the way, the link for the video you posted imho, you fast forwarded most valuable part of the camera installation.Please Keep your video without fast forwarding in the future.Please note that every frame of your video is valuable for the DYI people around the world. I'm a subscriber of your channel though :)
Md. Raishul Islam Honda Accord, That's a fun car to play around with!!! I remember when I was in high school messing around with Honda civics...I miss those days...I haven't worked on a Honda in a long time, mainly because they come with everything now from the factory 😅. About the fast forward...That's totally my fault, I'm always trying to find a balance of fun, knowledge and time. I know if the videos are to long it may discourage people from taking the challenge. I try my best to work on that. As for your car I would definitely drill it in BUT if that not your thing you could always use 3M Automotive tape and route the wire into the license plate light housing. I did an install on a Nissan a month ago... Maybe that video will be better for you, I think it will:

Also THANK YOU for being awesome and subscribing!!!
I need help dude!! I got a 2015 Mercedes Benz CLA 250. The head unit is: NTG5*1. I already wired the camera but I cant install it to the head unit. 1) I don't know in which plug to install it on since there is one that actually says "CAM". and 2) Im not sure that Farka cable will work.
Can you please help me out?
Also some people are telling me I need a device called NAV-TV. Is it true?
Giancarlo Cassella CLA... That's a completely different car. You are looking at additional parts in the range of $500. You need a special adapter for it to work on the car look up navikis
Thank you
What brand is the best? I dont know how to spell it thanks
MMAMELEEdotCOM ESky or Car Rover they are both good for the price
I really like your video tips. Very helpful.
Any new recommendations since this video? Great job by the way!
Not yet i still have mine and love it. Waiting for some new ones to come out.
Thx!
Great insight into backup camera. Can they ship this to India?
+Lokesh Bisht Maybe this will help you:
Look at this on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/361414767599
great video man!! i have been waitng for a video on this camera. I love esky cameras. I bought one two years ago right before the car I installed it in got totaled by a drunk driver. I loved it too bad I only got to enjoy it for a month.
Greetings! I have a 2009 C350, is it possible for me to add this to my car's Command unit?
+EVH Wannabe does your car have navigation?
Raymond Urias Yes sir it does, I found your other/previous video on how you installed it after I commented. Any maker/model number to use would be awesome. Great tutorial video, people like you have saved me a lot of headaches as a service tech over the years. ✌🏻
Hello Raymond, Concerning the radar backup beeper, you can run a relay off of the reverse light circuit and that will address your concern. On my Porsches, the lighters were constantly on, so I added a relay that operated off of the ignition so that the DVR cameras would start and stop with the vehicles. I did not check all of your comments, but if I am repeating someone else's suggestion, apologies. Did you ever install the radar camera? The hole size must be large to accommodate the cable ends and as you pointed out, the hole will not be behind the mount.
gordon That's exactly what I did. I tapped I to the reverse light wire and added a capacitor to deal with the SAM unit (I have a video for that). And yes I did install it...and I wasn't alone +j.l also did the install and a few others did also. It's a NICE camera!
So how did you deal with the hole and what is the link to the video?
gordon It was not as bad as I thought...
czcams.com/video/X-gt8IOlSZo/video.html
Great, thanks. Sorry to be an unending PITA, but why did you need a capacitor and which video concerns the "capacitor to deal with the SAM unit" (I assume that you specify the capacitor in the video)?
So, have the winners been picked?
Thanks Raymond,
Thai
Thai Vuong Yes we hit that milestone. I do have another give away going on. Check out the Mercedes Benz dashcam install
I have never seen anyone do a comparison test on anything like you did. So, thanks. I am considering upgrading my wife's 2013 Toyota radio to accept such a device, so I have been poking around CZcams for help. Thanks.
+tom721100 Thanks for the compliment. Check out the pioneer head units they are amazing and have a ton of features!
I have a clk 430 2001 need to find best back up camera for my car do not want to do any drilling.
I like that you do this for people so they don't have to go out and buy ones that don't work if they buy the ones that are good one this.
+Lacharda Norris Thanks so much for that comment, I have been meaning to make more review videos.
I have picked up the Esky EC170-36. I would like to see a video soon on how you managed to install it in your vehicle. The only install guides on this camera model are not in english on youtube. The cables from the camera unit are too large to fit through the holes that are available, or I would have to cut and drill large holes in the back of the car.
+Bryan Wan here is how I did it.....in English lol

Very nice. Thanks for the followup!
The elsky camera with radar would that fit in 2012 Nissan Altima
+Yaseen Yusoof Definitely will fit under the lip!
