Just Got my H3 Woa! Need backup camera kit HELP!
 

I just got my 06 H3 home from the dealer. Im already figuring out the custom stuff to put on. One item that I need help on is the rear camera for backup. I opted not to have the dealerinstall since they wanted way too much. Can anyone suggest any kits? What have your experience been using it. I drive in to NYC and feel like I am tryingto park a tank (a good one). I have always had trucks so this is not new to me about parking.

easy tiger no need to worry. The stealer [GM] makes a great little device that plugs into your power ports and has 3 lights, they light up when at 10', 5' and 3ft. it's about $350 I'm sure there's aftermarket options out there. Maybe that will help and posibly less than a camera kit

champipple - whoa, easy now tiger,[sm=smiley36.gif] I saw an article that said the sensors are not reliable and that there is no substitute for actually seeing the area behind you while backing.

Cheaper does not = better or reliable

Just bought the wireless version from Wal Mart ($98.00) which has 2.5" color monitior. I don't have all the bugs worked out but it seems ok for the money

Here are a couple of pics of the backup sensor I installed yesterday. It's been 24 hours and I haven't backed into anything! The system is from Crimestopper and is called the "Backstopper Rear Vehicle Impact Warning System". I tried the Walmart camera and wasn't happy with it and returned it. I like this system a lot better. I have several wholesale connections with consumer electronics manufacturers and distributors. Bought this from a distributor of mine. Cost was approx $50.00.

That looks pretty good. Where did you put the other sensors? I only see on in the pic.

With your sensors placed like this, I guessed that the other sensor is located at the oppositeangle of the bumper, the area below the spare tire is not covered.

This type of sensors are good for flat bumper, lyke most of the cars got, in that case you have 4 sensors covering abt 250°

for bumpers like ours you should add a rear view camera located below the spare tyre.

Thanks,
