Instructions are junk. I found some good wiring diagrams on the net though. I ended up splicing the power wires for the camera into the tow hitch wiring and I didn't hot wire the monitor into the battery. I just wanted this system to be used when in need. Most times I won't rely on it but when needed all I have to do is plug in the power source into the cigarette lighter and monitor comes on. The camera doesn't come on until truck is in reverse. After I took these pics I ended up swiveling the camera downward just a tad so I could see the tow hitch ball for even better precision.


For $60 (on Amazon; Pyle PLCM7500), I'm very happy.

I like that for the price. But I hate the look of the license plate attachment. Might have to think of somewhere/something else
But it does make it stupid easy hookin up to a trailer.....

I'll have mine on Wednesday. Is this a wireless kit?

It is not. It's wired. I read reviews on the wireless ones and too many folks complained about signal being flaky. It came with a long enough phono plug cable to run it from the rear, into the cabin and under dash.

Yea I read that to on some but still chanced it on the one I got. Has good reviews so we'll see.
