Pioneer ND-BC6

Pioneer ND-BC6

My Alarm installer said it was easy to install. I'm using the AXT 4500 deck to view the camera. The picture is clear and you get a wide span. The only negative is it does not tell you how close you are getting to the object behind you when backing up. The picture does show that you are much closer then what you think. After test it a few times you get used to the distance. it is cool that you can view behind you even when your driving. All around I like it. I would just like to know how close I am from the other vehicle while backing up.

i can see, however......

i can see behind me just fine, but how in the heck are you supposed to tell how close you are to something before you hit it? the phrase "objects are closer than they appear" just doesn't quite hit the mark in this case.

Good camera

Has a good picture and was easy to hook up. The only thing not to like about it for me is I needed it to hook up to a trailer and the picture looks to stretched out kinda like your passenger mirror. Good camera to see what's behind you though if that's what your looking for.

Outstanding backup camera!

The camera displays a very clear picture both during the day and night. Very easy installation procedures. The hardest part was running the wire from the rear of the truck to the head unit inside the cab. It has been very durable withstand multiple heavy rain storms here in FL, with no problems. I would recommend this products to others.

Back-up Camera

The camera works great and I love that it is able to be mounted in different positions such as underneath or on top. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase.

Excellent product

Good image quality and full installation instructions. Robust and reliable.

Great quality

As a former car audio installer, I have installed back up cameras from many different manufacturers and I have always preferred the cameras from Pioneer. I feel that the quality on them is top notch. After 4 years of installing, I've only had two customers with problems with Pioneer cameras. Both of those were the older ND-BC1 model. To this date, I have yet to see an ND-BC2 model have any issues. The smaller size of the ND-BC2 compared the the ND-BC1 is a nice feature of this model and the supplied mounting bracket makes installation easy as it offers many options for the installer to securely mount the camera in the right place for the application. I also like how the camera connects to it's hide-away "brain" with only a single cable which contains power and video connections all in one. This makes for a tidy install as there's not 3-4 wires that have to be ran to the rear of the vehicle. I have seen cameras from other manufacturers (usually less expensive ones) that only come with 6" of video cable and power and ground wires out of the camera. I've never been a fan of connecting RCA type video connections on the exterior of a vehicle because I feel that over time, the elements of nature can cause issues with that connection and possibly prevent the system from working properly. With this camera and it's single cable design, that is a non-issue.

I also prefer the external "box" style camera to the cut-in "lipstick" style camera because if there are any issues in the future in which the camera has to be replaced, you don't have to worry about finding another camera that fits in the hole that's drilled in your bumper. You also don't have to worry too much about the clearance behind the bumper cover to fit the rest of the body of the camera.

I currently use this camera on my pick up truck to make backing up to my trailer easier. Easier is probably an understatement. I will never own a tow vehicle without a back up camera again. The picture quality on the ND-BC2 is very clear in both day and night. The only gripe I have is when backing up to my trailer at night, the reverse lights on the truck reflect off of the diamond plate on the front of my trailer and cause a glare which makes it hard to see the black receiver against the black frame of the trailer. It's really only a problem when I'm 10'+ from the trailer. Once I get closer the glare goes away and I can see the hitch ball and the receiver perfectly.

Great camera

This camera works great. I use it for backing up to trailers all the time works awesome. No need for a second person or to have to get out to see where your lined up with the trailer.

Great product

Easy to use and great picture quality I would recommend to anyone.

Nice Camera

The resolution is very good, even at night with only your backup and brake lights as illumination. It was easy to mount using the supplied 2 sided tape (which is holding up well) and was no problem to wire to my AVIC-Z120BT nav unit. Kind of expensive but worth it.
