Installed a Pioneer AVH-P2300DVD and backup camera.







Edit:

Here is a pic showing the view. I'm going to find something to put under it as a spacer so I can aim it more towards the ground.

 

Very nice!!

That'll be my next install... Darn near impossible to back up with a cap on

 

how wide of an angle is your camera? i'd imagine right there it'd be pretty good for backin up to a trailer or something.

 

this is part of your saving for the honeymoon plan? lol



as always, looks good

 

^^Exactly what I was thinking... there goes a good portion of that $6k, lol

 

Exactly why I did it.

I'll get a picture to show you.

Guys apparently cant read lol. I said I had money to cover the wedding/honey moon, school, savings and a little fun money. I've been planning to do this for a while. Plus I have more money coming in soon.

 

I like that camera placement, nice work

 

Thanks trent. I need to try and angle the camera down a little more. I may have to pull it off and put something under it to do it though.

 

does it get really dirty? if there is crap on it can you still see?

 

actually, I can.

If you re-read your thread, you simply said 'pretty much' when someone stated if the cash was for the wedding/honeymoon.

 

I like it, been thinking about doing the same, it is tough trying to line up a trailer with a shell on and just backing up with a lifted truck can be a pain.

 

Yeah you can just looks like spots, but its easy to wipe off.

Yes, but further on in the thread I mentioned it

Well worth it I also have it on the f150 and it helps with the phatass the truck has lol.

 

Very nice. I wish I had the money for a double din and back up cam when I upgraded.

Does it have night vision? Or are those lights going to serve that purpose?

 

Phhhft, that's what mirrors are for.

I like the camera though.

 

Nice upgrade

 

No night vision but with the lights you can see fine. I'm about to put some different lights on there because I'm not happy with the current ones.

Trust me if you put one on you truck you'd regret never having one. I dont use it all the time, but there has been enough times that have popped up that I've used it to make it worth it!

Thanks!

 

id have to agree, backing up with a cap, expecally when you have tint, can be a pita

 

x10. if you cant drive a truck with a cap then you cant ever drive a van. more transportation for me though when the zombie apocalypse comes so im not complaining.

 

Yep I have 3 windows with tint too the back lol

I use to drive a 96 windstar. You can NOT compare the two. With a van you you dont have 2 windows to look through with tint before you see the back. van is just as easy to drive as an SUV because you have a reference as to where the back of the vehicle is. Driving with a cap isn't hard, but the camera acts as an ad for the big blind spot you have right behind the truck. Especially at night!

 

I agree. Three windows with tint suuuuck.

If I had the money id buy a camera, you may not need it but it sure does help.

 

Super Spy!

 

I wish, had a toyota camry back in behind me after loading a bandsaw in the back of my truck. He must have pulled in after i got in my truck and parked about 2 feet behind me. Started up the truck put in reverse checked my mirrors turned around to look out the back window and started to backup trailer hitch buckled his trunk up to the back window. I sear I never saw him, couldn't see him out of the mirrors or out the back a camera would have saved me a ton of money on insurance premiums.

 

sweet mod, had to cost you a little cash but a lot cheaper than backing into someone

 

Nice Mike! I installed one for my avic d3 in my F150 and I love it!

 

Very nice! The Raptor I drove had a reverse camera... ever since then I've wanted one too!
