Great Product - 5 stars

The following review is for BARCAM221, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This product is very affordable and delivers great results. With the night vision on it there are no issues with using it at night in no light situations. I have would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a licence plate mounted camera.

Nice product

The following review is for BARCAM221, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Good product for the price, but I did have to buy a longer video cord, the one that Comes in the package is just to short for a truck. If you have a car it's no problem but I have a four door short bed f150 and the cord was about 4 ft to short.

The following review is for BARCAM221, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Camera works well with the Planet Audio DVD player. But again asking for assistance from Sonic is terrible.

Nice remote camera

The following review is for BARCAM221, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Picture is fine. Mounts easy. Has all the wiring you need to make it work. Instructions are printed in 3 font so hard read. Just find them online and blow up the image.

Exceptional

The following review is for DMX709S, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I love all the functions of the radio and the design I really bought it for the sound quality of the radio and the pre amp output I bought any older model excelon before for a system I was building and never looked back but again. All the functions and design is a plus

Good cam.

The following review is for BARCAM221, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This after market backup camera is a good safety feature. For me it was not a difficult install (my first try). The instructions for installation are easy to understand. If you don't have one get one. You will be happy that you did. Don't know yet about the durability of the camera since I've only used for about 35 days. But so far, so good.

Clear picture

The following review is for BARCAM221, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Very nice clear picture but the view is reversed. Luckily I like to use my mirrors and only use the camera to see what's directly behind me.

Great backup camera

The following review is for BARCAM221, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Sonic Electonix techs recommended this camera and it is a great value. The picture looks like it from a stock factory install. Mounts simply to your license plate screws, looks very professional.

Great unit!

The following review is for DMX709S, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Pros
5v preouts, Great eq, overall feel and speed of unit is great.

Cons
The display off (blackout) feature could be better. It does shut off but backlight stays on so not 100% off. As someone who drives a lot at night this could be better.
No other cons in my opinion

Almost perfect.

The following review is for BARCAM221, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Purchase this model for it's protected camera design and because it was described as having an easy to use 4 pin DIN connector, which would have been a match for my existing wiring. Unfortunately, though they may use only 4 wires, this camera comes with a 6 pin DIN connector so I had to rewire the entire system. Just a lot more work than anticipated. End result is the camera works as advertised and the design will keep the camera from being easily dislodged or damaged.

Very Nice Head Unit

The following review is for DMX709S, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This unit offers a lot of control over your sound settings. The user interface is very intuitive, you don't need a degree to change the settings. The only thing I wish it had is a volume knob. I didn't realize how convenient a knob is until I went to a unit without one. I may buy the remote just for the purpose of easier volume control.

Awesome HU, sounds and functions great

The following review is for DMX709S, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

2013 Subaru BRZ
- Incredible sound compared to stock.
- I'm running about 50RMS/ch to aftermarket 6" coaxials in the doors and ~400RMS to a 10" sub.
- The HU powers the dash and rear speakers.

Sound: It bumps so clean and hard even at very loud volume, with very little tuning needed.
Function: Everything works great. I was surprised no multi-touch, so you can't pinch zoom on maps, but no big deal.

Very impressed. The HD radio is well worth it if you plan to listen to any radio at all. I'm glad I got the 709S vs the 7709s.

Super Upgrade

The following review is for DMX709S, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Many options in this unit. I have a 5 channel and it love the 5 volt outputs. Built in crossovers, Many different backgrounds to choose from, and just a clean looking unit overall. Hooked up my phone through usb cable and nav and Pandora loaded right on the screen with no extra effort. This is a head unit to consider if you are in the market for one.

Awesome Headunit. Slim form factor is great!

The following review is for DMX709S, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

HU is great. I like how it's not as bulky as my old kenwood knob dial headunit. I have alot of space in the space behind it for wires which I didn't have before. The memory recall/save feature is awesome. It does what it's supposed to do so no complaints there. Only issue is the emergency system messages which automatically set your radio to play. It's annoying BUT it can be turned on. ALSO, if you're coming from a HU with a dial, this does take some time to adjust to. Overall HU is great.

Sweet Head unit! Kenwood for the win

The following review is for DMX709S, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Easy to navigate, wonderful output, one of the best middle of the line headhunts I have owned. just one complaint, I wish it had a usb port on the front. Just easier. Creates a great sound quality and tons of settings to chose from or customize. If your on the fence about this one, just pull the trigger, its a solid unit.

Got my camera shipped to me without any hardware. Would be nice to receive the proper mounting screws. I have a camera with no way of installing it. Called sonic and they said I have to wait for a response back. The correct answer would be a new camera is being shipped to you sorry for the inconvenience and you can return the one you received
