BOYO VTL17IRTJ - Concealed License Plate Backup Camera with Night Vision and Active Parking Lines (Black)

New car stereo installed at professional shop several years ago. Back up camera finally went completely out. This camera plugged right in and works great. So much clearer & better than the old one. If a high end independent vehicle audio shop, a shop that has been installing stereos for as long as I remember, uses only Boyo cameras, that's good enough for me.

Purchased in July 2024. Wired the BOYO camera into a BOSS BVCPA9W head unit in a 2019 Tacoma. I mounted the camera to the top of the license plate. The BOYO is much better than the factory Toyota camera that is installed in the tailgate. Unfortunately, for comparison, the BOYO night image is not good as my 2016 Subaru Impreza factory camera. As for problems, the camera’s small 4-pin connector (commonly used in aftermarket backup cameras) I installed underneath the truck bed, close to the to the step bumper. It was well protected from water, salt, mud, etc. using 3M Super 33+ black tape, not shrink tubing. I started to get intermittent “Loss of Signal” on my Boss screen after about 15-months. It turned out the camera’s 4-pin connector becomes lose (slightly pulls apart). After reseating the connector, everything is working fine. Most people would just replace the camera thinking it failed. I have seen other backup cameras with a better designed 4-pin connector with a click-type seating so maybe this model will have an improved style by now.

Ok, install was as easy as the installer makes of it, you want clean its not fast, I wired it in to be as close to wireless looking as I can so it took a couple hrs and I waterproofed the connections. Camera quality is ok... very clean application and worked well on a truck platform. 2006 f250 supercrew 4x4 w touch screen in dash. Kind of wished I opted for tailgate handle version after having put this one in, but I remove my tailgate periodically so here I am. The picture quality is fair enough to see what im doing behind me so fulfills the function. Camera is small for sure and seems fairly heavy duty, didnt fog or distort in rain either but dust is a constant. Perhaps i try dry silicon on the lens???

The image quality isn't the greatest, but when you're backing up you don't need to see every minute detail such as a small pebble, just need to see the big objects such as people, cars, trees, houses, and whatever else. This will do that! However, as others have mentioned it will not do it for long. Mine lasted about 4 months before it died. No idea how to contact their support to get a warranty replacement. All connections have been verified, the camera is simply dead. It's cheap and easy to install and it will assist in backing up and avoiding hitting things. Just don't expect it to last forever.

Good fit and easy to install. Night vision is bright

This is a very good little camera. I got the one with the parking assist lines and after some getting used to its been very helpful. It's not the absolute best quality sensor no so don't expect to be taking selfies with it but it does the job it's intended to do. The picture at night is good as well. It's a little harder to see since I didn't get the version with the white backup lights but the cars tail lights and reverse lights provide more than enough light to see where you are going. The parking lines are responsive once the car actually starts to turn. I sort of expected them to move when I moved the steering wheel but it doesn't work like that.

A decent buy. Does what I need it to.

This works well but the feature that makes the grid move while in reverse does not correlate well with actual steering input. Backing up straight the grid will swing back and forth. This feature can be disabled by cutting a wire, which I would suggest doing.

Buena calidad de video, tanto de día como de noche gracias a su visión nocturna, quedó perfectamente montada en mi portaplaca trasero

Cheap, easy to install if you're into that sort of thing, works good.
