Hello guy's I've know its been about a week since posting one of my pain in the butt questions. While getting some tires at WAL - MART today I saw the coolest thing and had to buy. A wire less back up camera kit. compleat with monitor and all the goodies. $98.00.................. They had about 25 of them in my freehold NJ store. the company web site is www.vr-3.com
I WONT GO INTO DETAIL BECAUSE A FRIEND LOST A LOVED ONE IN THIS AREA OF THINKING.
But family comes first and anything I could do to prevent a loss to someone in this area I would do 1000 times over.
Hope everyones holidays are safe

 

Geez BOBLOM that's never good to hear. Sorry for your and your friends loss.

On the lighter side I tried to find a price for Miss Roadmaster on that web site but couldn't

 

I guess everyone want to buy her . But they wanted 135 for the same unit wall mart has for 98.

 

did you try to install it yet? how did the install go and how does the picture look? i know you have trouble with the pics but this one i need to see. i have two little kids myself and a long drive way i need one. im going to walmart today!!!

 

If you go to www.vr-3.com thier is a taped feed from sema were they show it working. Its been raining in NJ today. The instructions look like a no brainer for me since its wire less. just use the inclosed scott lock to your back up light. screw it on the back of your lic. plate like an EZ / PASS and mount the monitor any were you want on dash visor and feed it power. looks like a 30 min job. going away for 2 days will be back on sat and will up date.

 

it does look easy i know. i do wiring for my work but just wanted to know if you did it yet and how it look. i already picked one up today and giving it as a xmas gift to both of those so i wont install for a few weeks. let use know how it goes. thanks.

 

Very easy to install took me twice to get the chargers wireing correct. total time 30 min if you use the scott locks. The back up light in the charger is white with a light green stripe on it. The pic is not bad since its only 98. bucks. you get a little interference because its wireless from the cam to the monitor.Trick I was told by road master. plug in your monitor with the cig. lighter and you can take a 9 volt bat to temp power up the cam to see if you like the angle. It comes with shims to change the up or down angle.Also dont worrie if you mount it upside down the monitor has a clock rotation on the pic so you can fix it. Came in handy today got parked it real tight by a butt hole used the cam to back up on his bumper to get out.
stay safe happy holidays

 

i think im going to wire mine write to 12v constint power so i can look at the camera if need even if the car is not in reverse? what do you think, i think that is a opition in the instuctions too.

 

I was going to wire it for all the time like the sema clip shown on thier web site. baby watching in the mini van. Road master told me not to because the camera will burn out if you leave it on all the time. They use to see a hard wire unit but discontued it for the wireless unit. I was going to hard wire it to the sun visor and power it off the visor light. But I used the double stick velcro and just placed it under the AC vent i the center. cant complain for the price.I would have rather hard wired it. I get some static some times driveing around town. I live by verizon site with mega towers and the camera was triggered on while driveing past thier tower tonight. They claim blue tooth might interfear....... Like I said $98.00 why complain
