All,
I just bought a VRBCS300W Wireless Backup Camera from Pep Boy for $99. I don't know if it is a piece of dodo or not. But for $99 I thought I'd try it. Has anyone else played with this unit?

I do not have one, but I have been looking at this one as well. I will be interested to see how it works for you, and what you think!

 

If you do get one, They come in 2 and 4 button units. The two button has on-off and video flip. The four button has two extra buttons that adjust brightness and contrast. For some crazy reason they both have the same above mod number. Look at the box and get the one you want.
Both units have a very nice picture but it's a 2.5" diagnal. Prety small!
My H3 being shipped to Victoria TX tomorrow, so I won't be able to install it until the end of the month. I can't hardly wait.
The only thing I need now is what wires to tap into. The camera will tap into the reverse light in the trailer hitch. The monitor will tie into +12v , +12v ACC, Reverse +12v, GND. I just need to find them....

 

i think one of the members here bought one and returned it to walmart..they have it for $89 by the way..
if i remember correctly his complaint was too much interference....which probably makes sense..
coz in walmart they have shown right next to the reciever so the pics are clear... but i guess when u mount it all the way to the end thats when u get the crappy pics.

 

Well thatsa about a 9 on the spinkter scale!
That figures. I checked all over and didn't see anything. It figures.
I'll give it a try to see what happens.
Thanks for the input.

here ya go..found it..check the 1st page..you (crank) actually put a post in it.. pretty funny..

 

Yep that would be me!
I guess I didn't read all the way through. [&:][&:]

I still might give it a try. Just because I already have it. It operates on 2.4ghz. That means it will interfere with wireless laptops, telephones, other cameras, and probablyignition noise. I guess I should have thought this one out more. I guess I can't be good looking and smart at the same time.

 

let us know how it works out... i would have gladly pay an extra 50 for the wired version..wish they made one..

 

I;ve been using it for a couple of months now and really like it. I have the camera wired to the wire going to the back-up lights so it onlly comes on when I put it in reverse. After you put it in reverse it takes 3-4 seconds for the camera to come on and adjust to the lighting. As for interference there has been very little for me.

 

That sounds a bit better! Thanks Bonzaii!
It may work for me if I filter the heck out of it.
By the way, where did you put your monitor? Did you get the 2 or 4 button unit?
TNX.
