Dual DMCPA79BT + Free Backup Camera

Good camera / easy to install

I have bought 2 of these - one for a Wrangler and the other a Honda Fit. It’s a 3 piece harness/cable, which makes installation much easier. Both units were connected to Pioneer NEX and the included parking lines were good enough to leave Pioneers turned off. The parking lines also curve with the direction of your steering wheel angle, which is a nice feature. I’m going to buy a third one.

Great value

This is an excellent camera for the cost. It isn't too bulky & works great.

This little camera is a great value so far. We'll see in the long wrong but it feels like quality material and appears to be well sealed to keep out weather. It has a more than adequate field of view for me. Only thing to note is I installed this on a 2002 Tundra which is more of midsize truck and the cable was not long enough to reach the taillight so take note of the length of the supplied cable compared to your cable run needs and be prepared with an appropriate patch to reach the desired location. Also, I recommend a wire loom if you route under the vehicle as I did. I went out through the engine firewall then down and back.

Solid Hardware!

This backup camera was included with a Sony stereo (5500) I purchased for my father's Nissan Frontier 2011. The camera itself is solid and well built. The metal casing and hinges were designed with notches to accept hardware and be fastened in multiple orientations so you can install the camera where you want it and it won't move. Also, double-sided tape was already attached to the mounting surface of the hinge so it will stay in place when you are installing it, making it much easier to get that first fastener in.

has Apple carplay for way under $200

I bought this unit because it had Apple carplay. Install was pretty straight forward, don't necessarily like having an expternal mic for the phone but I think I hid it well enough. everything about the unit works well. Bluetooth works great, unit starts playing from my phone before the screen has even finished it start up process

Good value for the Money so far

I have had this unit installed for 3weeks now and about what I expected for the money. I will say upfront this even at the 189 price point this is still an entry-level unit for android auto/car play with 7" screen. I use this with an LG g6 and so far so good. I would like to note get you a good USB cable for your phone! I was ready to put in a service request for mine because android auto kept disconnecting but a quick look online I saw that cheap cables just don't cut it. I bought an Anker Powerline 1m cable and no issue since unless I move my phone a lot.
The good is it seems to be a good value for an android auto unit for less than 200 dollars. Once loaded android auto is pretty responsive to my G6 and with a PAC-SWI controller I was able to set up my steering wheel in my 09 lancer to work with it.
The only bad I can really say about it so far is load times. It takes an average of 6 seconds to load initially from when Dual screen comes up and android auto unless connected before the start can take up to 12 seconds to load. That could be because of my phone and is really only a nitpick. In case any are wondering the backup camera will come on even when loading screen is on so you don't have to wait for it to full start-up to get your camera.
So far so good I gave this 4 stars because I think its good but doesn't really surprise me for the price. I think is a good value and I will try to update if anything changes soon.
