EchoMaster Rear View Mirror w/Backup Camera

[@dannysanders1439]

Thanks George, I had lost my installation instructions and after watching your video I was able to complete the installation, back up camera is working great.

[@georgeygeorge7654]

+Danny Sanders glad it worked.

[@Soul_Survivor2]

Your video is one of the best I have seen on youtube. Simple, clear and concise and your apllication is universal for installing in any car. I used your demo to do the same setup in my 2008 Toyota Tacoma pickup ext. cab 2wd. Thank you. Excellent demo

[@georgeygeorge7654]

Habul Mohamed thank you... I try... lol

[@chucklaneChuckylane]

5:00 I have a car, I've had many plus I've got a couple motorcycles and I don't know what the fuck that thing was!

[@Carvingwanderer]

I couldn't believe it when they told me 150 to install. Plus I was supposed to go to the dealership to get my mirror taken down first. Takes about 20 minutes to install.

[@ChampionCorner]

I installed this same kit in my car awhile ago. Occasionally when I start my car, a single loud beep will come from the mirror. Any idea what is causing this? It happens once every 4 or so starts.

[@raymondwoolverton3750]

Thanks for the video George. From the posted date it looks like you have had the camera system for 8-9 months now. How do you like it? Anything you wish it can do? Things you don't like about it?

[@georgeygeorge7654]

+Raymond Woolverton I actually wish the monitor can become a additional screen for my phone, however it does have an extra input connector for other video funtions however I havent gotten around to figure it out... The thing that I have found that could use a upgrade is the reverse camera itself to be in a HD. Overall was a deal at 150 or so when I got it. Looks as if bestbuy increased the cost on the product. Overall not bad for the product itself.

[@raymondwoolverton3750]

Georgey George thanks. How about the autodimming for night driving. I saw another comment on this posting questioning if it worked or how well it works. Did you get this function to work? Does it work well? Other item of concern is that I can't find this model on EchoMaster's website. It would be nice to download the manual and installation guide to help get a feel for this product before shelling out $200.

[@sharoncain4956]

Best Buy installed today. Camera will not hold the selected brightness but keeps going back to a very light brightness Called Echomaster support and was told it’s automatic. Then why do you have a choice of brightness? Do you think camera is defective?

[@dunnoyolo2238]

Did you have two red wires one that connects the mirror and one on video cable ? Did you use both wires ? UPDATE after wiring camera would not work properly and could not contact echo master went back to best buy and unit is Not Compatible with my vehicle. So make sure it works for your vehicle before purchase or install.

[@СадНаВсехШиротах]

I bought something like this LEXAND LR90 video recorder in the mirror brought it home turned it on did not set the time and date flew off The reason was a swollen battery at 300 mah put from the mobile phone at 600 now everything works

[@Catloverplayer]

How do those red,yellow and red lines work? Does red mean your about to hit something?

[@andygullion5182]

My green light stays on..is that normal ? Love the product

[@joe3276865536]

Thanks for making the video.

[@FunInuF]

I need to buy one for my van. Looks good.

[@ScottGarman]

Thanks for reviewing this. I'm curious about two things now that I assume you've been using this setup for a bit. Is the mirror truly auto-dimming? I've seen a lot of confusing advertising that some mirrors are "auto dimming" but what they're really only referring to is that when the backup camera display is on, it will automatically adjust the brightness of the image. Second, have you run into situations yet where the backup camera image isn't bright enough? That seems to be another failing of many rear view mirror camera systems - they can get washed out easily in bright light conditions. Thanks!

[@georgeygeorge7654]

Scott Garman using it now for some time it's actually not Auto dimming from the driver shining high beams in the night. But the monitor actually will brighten if it's dark. The good thing about is that BestBuy will let you to bring it back.

[@turboflush]

Georgey George tinted windows probably make a difference on screen visibility also.

[@Kurtiskurtical]

Hey George, great vid! It definitely answered some of the questions I had. I'd like to see how you powered the backup camera a little better tho. It was hard to make out where you plugged the red cable into.

[@georgeygeorge7654]

Kurtiskurtical just make sure you plug the red wire into the reverse power. And black wire into the back up ground.

[@Kurtiskurtical]

Georgey George thanks George. where/how did you connect the red wire into the fuse box?

[@georgeygeorge7654]

Kurtiskurtical. connect the red wire that runs to the front of the car (via fuse box) into an accessory power fuse. The black wire is the standard ground.

[@Kurtiskurtical]

It works, thanks George!

[@russelljennings4065]

Will this work good on an rv? 31 foot. Can I put it up high?

[@mss627]

Just had mine installed by Geek Squad (it was easy). The auto-dimming feature kind of sucks but other than that, it's okay.

[@georgeygeorge7654]

+Martin Smith nice...

[@gustavopalomino227]

Martin Smith How much did they charge you for installation?

[@Ianisatool]

@@gustavopalomino227 about 200 bucks for labor

[@jayhan2624]

Will this fit a 2014 Volkswagen Passat?

[@ROFLgator1]

Hi, is it possible to install this mirror with the camera in front of the vehicle and activate the camera with the press of a button when needed?

[@georgeygeorge7654]

Might be possible. However for the camera on the back it will come on once I put the car into reverse because I have connected it to the wire that powers the reverse light.

[@edritchey7648]

of course. but instead up plugging the wires to the reverse, just buy a toggle and you can activate it by flipping a switch.

[@raj4all2007]

I connected my back up camera in my car. its a pyle plcm4550. I hard wired the rear view mirror to the fuse box using a fuse tap. Used a 10amp fuse as the original fuse and a 7.5amp for the camera itself. When the car is on I can see one of the light on the rear view mirror is on (when connected to the video cable). Unfortunately no display is on when the car is in reverse. What could be the problem. Can you help me out.

[@Catloverplayer]

Question is it safe to run the car thru the car wash with the camera on the licence plate?

[@Ianisatool]

.....

[@golfchamp1991]

Absolutely! As long as everything has been/is installed & secured properly, of course.

[@amit666715]

hey i have a question,i have a 2009 rav4 that came with a back up camera but whenever i put it in reverse it turns blue and then goes black ..what do you think the problem may be ??

[@musasaho2304]

Does this fit on a 2011 Honda Accord ex?

[@georgeygeorge7654]

O yes... Universal... Works good too.

[@humzauddin105]

Is the slight glitch normal?

[@MyStillRemains]

Is it possible to install this into a double din head unit with an RCA port in the back? Or are you required to use the included mirror?

[@georgeygeorge7654]

+Eric Megg o yea... definitely can but in that case you're better off to buy a universal rear view camera lens. Will save you money.

[@TechHorse888]

No built in map/reading lights though...u would think they could include that.

[@georgeygeorge7654]

I totally agree with you on that.

[@TheKingOfHalo]

Just put leds in your map lights and you'll never need any additional lighting.

[@Catloverplayer]

I'm getting this installed on my Kia Sorento Tomorrow at BestBuy.

[@georgeygeorge7654]

O yes. But I always have them place tape on it just in case.

[@golfchamp1991]

@@georgeygeorge7654 ???

[@kellyreap4612]

I have the mirror but not connected. It lights up but no camera what steps do I take now

[@georgeygeorge7654]

+Kelly Reap check the wiring and see if they are all connected correctly. Especially power and ground.

[@kellyreap4612]

Georgey George there is no camera attached to the rear of the car. I bought the car from dealer I'm thinking camera was removed before I purchased it. so since I have the mirror I just have to see if wiring is intact and purchase the camera?

[@CatherineAngulo]

Then you buy a compatible camera or replace the unit as a whole...

[@jimnuna2022]

Looked online saw few different model numbers for echomadter. What model numer you get??

[@georgeygeorge7654]

This is the one I got... It was cheaper when I bought it. Now they have it at 199.00 at Best Buy. www.bestbuy.com/site/echomaster-rear-view-mirror-back-up-camera-kit-black/4519602.p?skuId=4519602

[@范博宇-v8w]

Georgey, How can i contact you? I also have a backup camera want to do a test!

[@tmaq9726]

I wonder if this one and one at walmart for $60 is the same thing but with different label Is the pyle PLCM4550

[@georgeygeorge7654]

Could be the case.

[@karlcampbell4509]

I had a Echomaster MM-4320 DVR model # PCAM-LB2B-N installed. It worked perfectly until I was in an accident then it went to the standby mode. The dealer and the manufacturer both, have no idea how to reset it to record. Anybody got any ideas? Their solution is to buy another mirror. help

[@patricknance7938]

There is a red wire on the rca plug that you did not connect. What is that for?

[@georgeygeorge7654]

Patrick Nance that's correct I did not connect that one. I am under the assumption since the Mirror Has the screen that you are able to cast your phone content. however I didn't do it and am trying to find a way to utilize that feature.

[@Ianisatool]

.....

[@garymiddleton658]

I have that one

[@bymitten1]

how did you end up hardwiring the two wires to your reverse light?

[@georgeygeorge7654]

bymitten1 I had a (Wire Splicing Clip). Search it on Google and I am sure you have seen it before.

[@bymitten1]

Georgey George Aah, ok. That makes sense. Would it be wrong to just twist the two wires together (one wire from the bulb and the other for the camera) and put that back into the bulb? And thanks for the reply. Great video too!

[@georgeygeorge7654]

I assume yes if you need it done quickly. But suggest getting the clips as they never fall off.

[@bymitten1]

Georgey George Ok. Thanks for your input

[@shawnshing614]

Well that is what I actually wanted to see the installation of the new mirror! And you didn’t show it.!!!
