$100 Roadmaster Backup Camera @ Pep Boys
I had to give it a shot. I'm getting tired of trying to hitch up the trailer solo and avoid having communication miscues w/ assistants. Makes parking easier too. Sweet!
Install was easy! 2 wires spliced + ground. I tapped into the trailer harness for the power + reverse signal. They gave more than enough cable to run it from my hitch to the interior of my truck.
You can turn it on manually or it automatically turns on when you're in reverse.
Quality of the image is a lot better than I expected. I thought it would be awful, but it's pretty decent. They used a fish eye lens. It's pretty awful @ night.

All us that actually race need to tow to the track. This product makes it easier to hook up to the trailer.
That is how it relates!

Except for Zephyr, since he doesn't use a trailer.
Keith, who pushes the trailer toward the tow vehicle, instead of the other way around...

I did that once with a Uhaul rental. And I rammed the bumper of my tow vehicle instead. Got a nice bumper scar for that.

Did you think I installed this on a Civic or Integra?
If you don't have a tow vehicle, please skip this thread.
