Car Toys install = mixed results...

(On a side note, now I'm thinking about having backwards flame decals installed...)

But seriously folks, the install has now been completed to my satisfaction. The camera is in the camera cubby, and it all works great and looks perfect.

I'll be a happy camper in about two months, when I take the VX on its first camping trip. That's the extended drive I've planned, all through the Utah desert! Yeah, baby. Roughin' it with GPS navigation, satellite radio and an iPod. And my dogs. Does it get any better?

Photos later today...no, really...honest.

Eric, what camera did you install and how is it at night for backing up as in parking, backed into a wooden fence at the motel last time we was at Seaside OR

It's the standard Kenwood camera. Car Toys threw it in FREE, which is one reason I was being so polite with them about their botched install!
I spent a lot, but they threw in enough freebies to where (now that everything works perfectly) I feel like I got a pretty good deal.

The camera works great at night. I haven't tested it out at any ::ahem:: MOTELS lately, but I've driven around town a lot at night.

Digging it completely.

Here are a couple of images of the BAD install...

like THAT would have stayed on there long......that was a red carpet for a punk, if you know what i mean......
that was awful. how could an "installer" after he was done, swipe his hands together, and say to himself, that he did a good job??
Glad you got it fixed and are happy with it!!

Jeez, I never even thought about hooligans ripping off the camera. And you're right, they probably would have LITERALLY 'ripped' it off the back door.

I'll post photos of the new, improved camera mount tomorrow.

...and since 'today' is the new 'tomorrow', here is the photo of the improved installation. This looks much better, and it still works perfectly.
