I have a brand new Boyo VTK350 sitting here that I got free with my Kenwood headunit -- I ended up installing the Boyo VT420, but if anyone is interested, PM me, I'd be willing to let go of it for $20 plus shipping (VTK350)

Honestly, I like the offset camera better -- don't like having to drill the license plate -- and honestly, it's such a subtle offset (cam on the side of the plate) that you won't notice the off-center nature when you're backing up.

I have the Boyo 420, visibility is awesome during the day and very good at night from the back up lights. It's license plate mount and it's flush bolted from the inside so no one can jack it. It's awesome!

For all those who have a boyo... Did you guys notice that the plate or the finish is flaking off or rusting or any problems like that? I know theres 2 kinds .. one that is steel and one that is chrome plated...

Just wondering if after a couple of months it will look like crap...

How hard is it drilling the hole in the metal behind the bumper?

Hey guys, which aftermarket camera has the display lines (Red/Yellow/Green)?

I installed the Kenwood CCD-2000 in my friends g35x and now it's time for me to work on my own car.

Cant decide need some help.... back up cam

choices

BOYO Vision VTL420

seems to have the highest rated resolution out of the bunch.

Pioneer ND-BC2

also good comments on the Pioneer

What do you think?

I like the ease of the license plate but the Pioneer seemingly has a better picture based on some comments.

Have to order one today so quick replies are appreciated

vtl420

I went with the vtl425 cause I heard from reviews and other website the the chrome on the 420 wears off and chips.

vtl 405 and vtl425 supposedly does not have that cheap finish.
