[@TheZXKUQYB]

Got a feeling I know what Scotty's TV A/V center wiring looks like.

[@818marface]

Scotty Kilmer how is the video quality?

[@jeremymenchaca]

Yeah, I have an autodimming review mirror. I can't use this.

[@trevorrobinson3253]

Scotty, my man, I don't know how you do it but every time I need to fix something on my car and don't know how, you always have the answers haha. I recently decided to stop wasting money on parts I don't need at dealerships and mechanics and do it myself. And some how you always have the video I need. Thank you so much. I wish I had you in my neighborhood haha

[@whyzen2081]

People pay hundreds of dollars for this feature in new cars. It's cool that you can do it for $20.

[@Kvickification]

Standard equipment in more or less every car today, at least in Europe.

[@SONOFAZOMBIE2025]

*thousands

[@TheDox451]

Not really, you have to pay for cameras quite a lot because they charge you with a big screen. Since you have a big screen you have a gps and all kinds of media. Since you have a lot of media you get better speakers. Overall you pay A LOT for it, not worth it.

[@brandonevans9342]

these are made in China from old stock cell phone cams and lcds. amazing how it's $20. but the labor is what really costs in time or money to get it looking good.

[@robertwyness2464]

I thought that they fell off a truck somewhere!

[@platinumrose]

I've given these away for Christmas. Excellent video Scotty!

[@bridgendesar]

One drawback with the mirror is that in bright light, the image is over powered by the reflection from the back window. The easiest solution to this is to flick the little knob under your old mirror that is a sort of dimmer, or just tilt the mirror and put it back again!

[@TampaTec]

Congrats 1 million subs !

[@Dipp182]

4.3 mill now

[@FixItAngel]

I love your videos. Always a pleasure watching and learning from them. Have a nice day.

[@burkezillar]

Would've been great if you supplied a link to the mirror.

[@scottykilmer]

I don't do links unless they are sponsored. I just did this all on my own, if you go to amazon you can easily find it.

[@burkezillar]

That's fair enough. I had a look and I think I've found it. You're lucky in America though, the same kit is priced at £40 here.

[@burkezillar]

***** Fairly difficult when there's more than one option available. People will watch this, want this one as he's demonstrated how to do it. I looked on Amazon and there's a tonne of different options available. Wireless ones, wired, 7" ones, small ones etc.

[@alexm2623]

To be fair, Scotty did hold the box right up to the camera and if you pause you can read the brand, model, UPC, and even P/N.

[@XDazzlaX]

Ebay Wireless 1 that looks identical for £24.99

[@jordanarmstrong8358]

Thanks for posting up your videos. While this one doesn't show the details of the install, the overall idea is presented well enough. My only critique... I can't watch too long due to the way you're shouting at me in a Billy Mays style infomercial voice. Thanks for posting the videos, though. You, and the other people like you, are making life easier for countless numbers of people via KZbin.

[@thurm101]

I got mine this summer. Installed in about a hour or so. I like using this to park in the garage. I like to back into the garage. Heck I like backing in to park everywhere. But this camera is nice. It took me a little while to trust it. But you will come around.

[@rainystorm88]

I installed one on my mom's 2002 Camry, the hardest part was actually taking apart the trunk lid trim pieces to feed the wire through lol... That itself took a lot of Googling and Youtubing

[@lgoamity]

Appreciate the video. Had a similar experience with a $14 Dash Cam earlier this year. Certainly not the best Camera around and it has its limits but the install was simple. The price is right, and a good proof of concept that I could DIY a few other things. Because of videos like this my '03 Sedan also has a Retrofit TPMS, which I love, it's completely wireless so anyone can install this quickly. A bit pricey near $100 but worth it as I was able to Monitor a slow Leak/Flat tire that I might have otherwise missed and driven on by Mistake ruining the tire or caused it to degrade more rapidly (possible catastrophic failure later) from low pressure/high heat buildup that would go unseen/ignored between Pressure checks.

[@gentlemonsterkennels]

I just follow this guy because he is entertaining! I don't even work on my own car. I'll be honest, I hire someone for just about everything: toilet, sink, etc. I suck!!

[@IKhanNot]

Haha yeah I watch every Scotty video simply because it's entertaining and full of good info. I don't even actually have the car problems he solves but still great to watch.

[@JonnyDIY]

Wow! everythings getting so cheap! insanity! pretty cool how it worked well too.. May have to put one on my Moms Car so shell stop runnin into things LOL!

[@sushigaming101]

I'm going to be installing a camera on a truck. It has a trailer harness, so is it easier to use the reverse from that rather than the tail lights? thanks

[@scottykilmer]

yes it is

[@iriverriver]

Scotty, where did you get the actual camera? The product you liked seems to only include the mirror assembly.

[@dmdjm]

thanks for the tip scotty! where can i buy one?

[@Defender78]

Question: you didn't snake your wires all hidden, tucked away, like other video show. Seems like less hassle, and the wires don't cause distraction, even hanging in your field of view?

[@giurgindemilan]

Hi Scotty, Is it legal to, though partially, cover the licence plate? Also I believe the mirror is a homologated component while the one that gets stuck on top isn't.

[@chasmcl42]

Hi Scotty great video ,i drive a van so no rear mirror only side ones ,could this be wired to be a permanently on rear view mirror.

[@wobblysauce]

It can, just find another wire that is on when the cars ACC is on.. though most states have issues with that setup, and only allow it when in Reverse, as it provides a distraction.

[@TheDox451]

Or you could just tape the mirror you got to your dashboard.

[@GodfidenceJai]

I really wish you could show how to hook up a Lamtto Wireless CarPlay to a 2002 Buick LeSabre because this was a great video!

[@willvinson1893]

can you use a backup camera and monitor set as just a regular camera? i wanna set one up in my house.

[@dennisleslie]

Check your left front tire pressure Scotty! haha

[@doublebasserrazzmuss2408]

Hey Scotty, Need your help again. Hooked up my front and rear Dash camera system, works Great, Except, The rear Camera Displays Backward, or a Mirror Image. How the heck do I fix This? Thanx , JD.

[@YuStudios]

I have an Acura TL 2005 Navi. I wanted to install a backup camera and wire it into the navi system. Is it possible?

[@ethanwitz4764]

What is the link to the camera used in this video? Any similar ones for under $20 are fine too.

[@octaviopedro1225]

You are an angel, i am really decided to buy one, to put on my Mercedes. Good videos Scotty, keep going.

[@Supep007]

Hi Scotty Kilmer, I wonder if these would still work when exposed to heat. Like a car sitting in the sun in a tropical climate/in summer. I wanted to install these and a dashcam but worry they would be ruined by the heat. thanks

[@NutsandBoltsAuto]

id like to know the same, as i cant leave a dash cam in the truck without the battery exploding during the 120* summers :/

[@scottykilmer]

only time would tell on that, but any car parked in the sun will deterioate plastic, that's just a fact.

[@jessefoulk]

It's very cheap compared to more known systems, or factory systems. You don't lose hundreds of dollars of this goes bonkers on you.

[@MrGarcon98]

only thing i see is your covering the texas with the camera ? here in florida you'd get a ticket ,,each state is different , nice job thanks

[@skip123davis]

any chance there's a different source for the wireless transmitter, or another option? i'm likin' it so far, though! i've got a gigantic, lincoln town car and don't want to mess with wiring. hell, even the wireless may not reach that far, lol!

[@jaandel1]

what about snow or low temperature in winter season, will this camara work?

[@michaelcavalier8750]

I bought two different brands of these devices. The first one was expensive and the second one was cheaper (about $70). They both worked about the same. They worked well at night. During the day, the glare coming through the rear window made viewing the image very difficult. I had the rear window tinted for $80 and it was a little better.

[@elliottlandon8420]

Does the mirror also take power from the reverse kicking in or do you wire them separately ? so does the camera need to constantly be on standby by being wired into fuse box or something as an example?

[@scottykilmer]

it takes power from reverse. It's not on standby, the reverse power just turns it on like a switcb

[@elliottlandon8420]

Thanks for reply You said the mirror takes power from behind the radio because that's always on? So I should power both devices to the reverse light?

[@halamadrid19791]

Oh my goodness it's John Lennon! Nice video John

[@allissongaffney1914]

on a different note trying to upgrade my 2007 Chrysler Aspen limited GPS Junkie stereo monitor how do you measure it to find a very good fit so that you don't have a ton of plastic 2 cover gaps

[@Y10Q]

i might get this just so I don't run over my cats. I always check under the freaking car to make sure they are not around as I am backing up. Two of them are very old and suicidal and I don't want to be the one to take the two lives they got left.

[@SC-dt4ij]

LMAO

[@xart23x]

Suicidal? ahahahaha

[@Y10Q]

xart23x they are old, over 10 years old so they just fall asleep under the wheels, and sometimes I have to grab em by the tail and pull em out from underneath. I don't think they care about living anymore, so I think they are suicidal.

[@xart23x]

Y10Q I laugh cuz it hurts, honestly. My beloved cat who lived 20 (human) years also was suicidal before she passed. She walked into traffic uncharacteristically when she was diseased with mange. Week later i took her to doctor and she was put down. Tough day for me.

[@rashad6509]

😂😂

[@artfigueroa7506]

Thank you Scotty. I ran and got this product for a gift!

[@thebestofall007]

Hey Scotty, I have a 96 Toyota Celica 2.2L that shows codes P0141 and P0401 for oxygen sensor bank 1 sensor 2 and EGR insufficient flow, respectively. What I've done so far: I put in another o2 sensor from another Celica manifold off a blown engine I had, as well as a VSV. I tested the original VSV with an ohmmeter and it was out of spec (tested about 45 ohms). I tested the EGR valve by sucking on the top tube to draw a vacuum and open it, making the engine die (I also watched your video dealing with the valve being carboned up at the intake, but if that was so, I don't think the engine would die if I did the vacuum test on it, would it? I'm not sure.). I disconnected the battery for an hour to clear the codes after swapping those parts and the light doesn't come on while driving an hour on the freeway, but when I turn off the engine then turn it back on, the light comes on. I also had o'reilly's clear the codes, same schtick.

[@scottykilmer]

replace that sensor, and realize egr valve is either bad, or the suction to it is not working right on a toyota.

[@thebestofall007]

Ok, I'll try that.

[@thebestofall007]

UPDATE, I got good news: I got the EGR P0401 problem solved by doing the following: 1. Replaced the valve cover and spark plug tube gaskets, since they were hard and brittle and blowing oil on the exhaust manifold. 2. Used RTV silicone on the good vacuum hoses where they attached to the nipples so they don't leak, and replaced any old hoses that fit the nipples too loosely (THE SUCTION PROBLEM you mentioned). 3. Sprayed the PCV valve, EGR valve, and the metal EGR hose with carb cleaner (which were clean but I did it for good measure). EGR tested good, as well as the vacuum modulator and VSV tested good. I am now waiting on a Denso OEM O2 sensor with part number 234-2010 from here: www.ebay.com/itm/302074335049. I am left with a question: Would a bad valve cover gasket ever cause a P0401?

[@hihoney1122]

I have run across this camera, wondered if it really worked. Thanks

[@frank5151]

the best instructor ever! thanks for sharing

[@owen100140]

Nailed the new intro scotty

[@thesilvas8047]

On the video cable, what or how is the pink short cable connected? Please help. Ps. Your videos are awesome!

[@JakeRiley]

This all looks great but where can I take it to have a professional install it? I don't want to mess with the wires

[@EminGuluzade]

Can I connect my camera with on/off switch? Or wire to parking lights. So I can turn it on while I'm driving. But problem is can this cameras work for prolonged time? Thanks a lot

[@danielpinedo9324]

hi can k get the link for the rearview camera kit? could it work with a work van? thanks...

[@FreshKicks4545]

well done Scotty. What brand was it?

[@lashaa5]

cool..I need that....got a question...my dodge charger 07 runs like it want to cut off when the air is running an the car is parked or at the light...help me

[@RetroPCUser]

Hey Scott: My mom's 2007 Chevrolet Uplander has issues with the rear quarter windows not opening at all, and I have no idea where the hell the wiring is for the rear windows. Would corrosion kill the connection? If so, should I salvage one off of a car at a junkyard or buy a new wiring harness and solder in the new one? "Stealerships" would charge me about $100 to look at it, plus the repair.

[@scottykilmer]

try a salvage one AFTER checking the motors, they are notoriously weak and tend to rust out

[@air402]

I saw this video once before and then forgot all about it and then I go and buy one because I buy in Excursion and it's the exact same one thanks Scotty for showing me how easy this is I'm going the wireless way and I didn't think to tap into the stereo but now I'm going to thanks again

[@rayfl502]

Scotty sorry to see you leave Tn., your vids rock and it's nice to watch a good honest mechanic tell it like it is. I just got my van top 612 today and am deciding where to mount my rear camera but a near tag install is out because my led tag lights will wash out the camera. I am considering removing the lock barrel on my 99 f 150 tail gate and sliding the camera in there, I live in a congested area of Florida where everyone drives with a phone in their face so I can wait to get this thing operational. Thank you for the solid info and good luck to you.

[@theyoungazn]

Scotty you are truly a car enthusiast

[@jackconant4446]

Warning the wireless kit he shows is not the right one ,made that mistake but now have the right ones great product!

[@music4me200]

Question about the back up mirror camera that you supplied a link for.....Will this camera work at night also, I guess I mean, does it have night vision?

[@music4me200]

NEVER MIND!

[@s14slide]

+Scotty Kilmer, it looked like the camera had LED's in it. think you could follow up with how well it works at night?

[@thedissitupsdisney]

New intro hype!

[@gentlemonsterkennels]

Right!!

[@GeeZeeGZ]

Hey Scotty, another great video. Can you give a link to the amazon listing? I can't find this one or any other for $20. *LOVE YOUR SHOW!*

[@scottykilmer]

the evil swine raised the price after my video. I even made the video free, just go to amazon and see what's there now

[@gustavocastillo9954]

Hey Scotty was that Texas Motor Speedway?! I'm going this November with my father again. Unfortunately, I don't think Earnhardt Jr. will be racing

[@scottykilmer]

na, it was in the charlotte speedway, a lot bigger place

[@johnoutlawe9725]

Hi Scott just wondering if you can do a video on a wireless backup camera since you said on this vid you did wired on this one :)

[@TheJackster412]

How well does it perform in the dark?

[@MikadoRC]

I guess it's ok since it has its own infrared leds built in and the reverse lights also provide some illumination

[@scottykilmer]

yes, works good in the dark with infrared leds on it combined with the back up lights

[@AFTERDEATHX]

I frickin love Scotty dude

[@SPiTFiRe_MV]

Scotty, I bought a similar kit for my '05 Tacoma. The image ticks on for a split second every second or so. Having a hell of a time diagnosing the cause. The power for the camera is drawn from splice in reverse light positive and negative. The mirror monitor is powered from the reverse trigger wire in the driver side kick panel. Would I need a voltage stabilizer at both power taps? Something else?

[@milspic74]

Can you post a link to that back-up camera? Thanks.

[@WordUnheard]

They must have sold out, due to this video. Here's the name of the one he has: Chuanganzhuo backup camera tft-lcd monitor. If you look on Amazon though, you'll find similar ones for a little bit more.

[@LukeLGK]

Great video Scotty! But...I gave ya a thumbs up, but you really phoned this one in! You yadda yaddad over the tough parts! We can figure out the easy stuff. We need you for the tough parts!

[@davidboyd1226]

Mr. Kilmer I was just curious so I bought a car without the fog lights package, I was wondering if I go to a scrap yard and buy oem fog lights if I could install them on my car.

[@scottykilmer]

sure, you'd just need to rewire them

[@bijukurian7]

Hi Scotty, I would like to use the rear camera while going forward thus having the display on while driving. Any idea how to configure the wiring?

[@scottykilmer]

just wire it to a live power wire then instead of the back up light wiring

[@bijukurian7]

Thanks Scotty soo much...I will try that...One more thing I would love to say....You are awesome...If you were in India, you would have been an Awesome Movie Star...I love watching your videos...

[@kulletnetto]

Hi Scotty, I'm a new driver and I got my new Mitsubishi Mirage G4 last year. Atm I having issues with alignment, I just recently got it fixed from a tire maintenance dealer and after 2 weeks I got the same issue(not sure if it's only the steering wheel) but not bad as it was used to be and I've driving it smoothly as possible. Any suggestions or can you give me a feedback about this car?

[@scottykilmer]

find a better aligment shop, many tire dealers don't have such great mechaniccs, go to a real front end shop that does ONLY that.

[@funnypranker34]

All my cars have back up cameras so I'm good. I'm just so used to them that they actually help

[@Santos-ek8md]

Hi Scotty, can you include the link for this cam? thanks,

[@croc106]

that's not the right link. 20$ not 30

[@croc106]

here it is ON THE WAY®4.3" Screen TFT 2 Channel Video Input Car LCD Rear View Rearview Mirror Monitor for Car Reverse Camera/DVD/VCR(PAL / NTSC/DC 12V) www.amazon.com/dp/B011E4CE1I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hZU3xbJCJP7QZ I just ordered it myself and the wireless adapter, 33$

[@Santos-ek8md]

thanks

[@herbertbell9438]

I want this for my 60's dodge van but I'd like to just have a generic screen on the dash to plug it into. Maybe put one on the front so I can see exactly what I'm driving over like if I go over a hill when I'm driving off road, sometimes you can't see too good.

[@kjamison5951]

Another Scotty gem!

[@Michiganborn1969]

Pretty cool setup but luckily for me my Ram 1500 already has one built into the tailgate handle. My brother has the exact same truck and Year but his doesn't have that option. Also unfortunately for the 2014 Ram 1500 the microphones for the voice activated features are mounted on the rearview mirror, so nothing it going to be able to fit onto it. One last thing, here in California the month/year tags are on top of the plate and can't be covered up. That would prove to be a problem for a lot of vehicles adding that camera setup.

[@zaidomar2236]

Hi question please Coolant temperature sensor mitsubishi lancer 1600 cc the best temperature that make cooling fan work how I can choose the best temperature for coolant temperature sensor?

[@TheDox451]

You probably cant, optimal temperature is set in ECU, why would you change it?

[@davide4238]

Hi Scotty. I got me one of those and as soon as i get the camera connected to the hot wire of the reverse light it makes so that even when i get out of reverse the reverse light stays on. when I unplug the camera it all goes back to normal. what am I doing wrong??

[@scottykilmer]

you either got a bad unit or have it wires to the wrong wire that stays on all the time,

[@FoodOnCrack]

Scotty how's your experience with stainless steel license plate holders?

[@scottykilmer]

Great, if they have enough nickel in the stainless steel. Many are cheaply made and do rust

[@tousshong9438]

Scotty, I've installed one of these on my car yesterday and the mirror that came with the unit doesn't seems to be working as a normal. It's really dark any idea? Got the rear view camera to work and all that but the cable that connect the video have an extra red wire coming out of it too so I didn't connect it to any power sources.

[@thenchong1997]

I must have gone through 3 or 4 dashcam systems for my car and none of them worked for me. I live in Phoenix Arizona where the heat in the summer is atrocious. I tried suction cups and it did not last long. I have tried the rear view mirror mount and found that the camera simply dragged my rear view mirror down in the heat. Any suggestions?

[@tousshong9438]

Yes, times for an upgrade and buy a newer car with rear view cam if it's comfortable. I think it is cheaper to keep replacing those 20-30$ camera every other years. You just go on eBay and by the Mirror/Camera, the back camera itself etc...under $20.

[@marcosnila8824]

would this work on a standard vehicle?

[@Johny40Se7en]

That's a great little gadget fair play, goon one Scotty.

[@MicrosoftCPU3]

Do you have the link to the amazon store? What's it called?

[@scottykilmer]

just type "rear view mirror back up camera" on amazon

[@justinrichard4190]

I think this is it www.amazon.com/Intsun-Vehicle-Rearview-Monitor-Reverse/dp/B00WJXPKQU/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1473788430&sr=8-9&keywords=rear+view+mirror+camera

[@Machineheadtim]

+justin Richard that one doesn't come with a camera

[@justinrichard4190]

XDENT TIM oh yea, oops

[@Ppp-kk6hw]

love this guy makes everything sound easy. cheers big ears. keep it rolling

[@DOLRED]

Yeah, great video as it got me thinking on buying one. It would mount over the state name on the plate however. The other issue for me is the plate is on the left rear side of the vehicle as I have a rear mounted spare tire on the right side. Not sure if the view would be impacted/affected. Also, what about theft exposure?

[@joes6620]

How do you connect the wires after you crews on the camera to the license plate area?

[@marcuskunz6739]

On the backup camera, I can't find it on amazon. What is it called so I may be able to find it.

[@scottykilmer]

heck, they might have sold them all now. I just typed "review mirror back up light system"

[@adamskead8859]

Where did Rev up your engines phrase come from?

[@ifried91]

hey Scotty I heard all cars sold in the USA will be required to have back up cameras after 2017

[@scottykilmer]

yep

[@bigdaddymak1439]

All cars made since 2014!

[@gravemind6536]

Unlucky great way to push the prices of basic economy cars and works vehicles up for the consumer who don't want the damn things anyway.

[@Sci-Mon1]

Gravemind it’s a safety thing. I’m fine with it. Plus if it’s a standard feature now it’s not expensive to implement

[@JoseGarcia-pd5bn]

What's the link to the camera so I can purchase one

[@alfblack2]

Awsome. But unfortunately my country employs "security" screws on the license plate so it cant be undone. Hmm. I'll figure something out. Thx Scotty for the heads up! Didnt know these existed.

[@imanhn]

Hi, Thanks for the video, I just purchased the rear view camera pack just like the one you used in your video, and installed it on a bmw 530i 2007 but I have a problem now which is after starting the car and going to reverse, the camera works for only afew secounds and then the camera goes blue and turning off( because of no signal I guess) I used reverse light for feeding positive to both camera and lcd(mirror) and for negative directly connected to the battery. May you please help me? some says I should use a relay and connect cam and lcd directly to positive of battery through a relay and use the reverse light signal just to switch the relay on. Do you think this will solve my problem?

[@vic1273]

Hey Scotty, could you share the Amazon link for that setup?

[@psdaengr911]

The "new version" linked costs $25 for the mirror-monitor alone. There is a disfferent one for $30 with a camera included. Transmtter/receive another $13. The indicated dimensions of the mirror are less than the width of my stock mirror.

[@josegalvan3411]

hey Scotty my dad trucks turns off we have gone through all of the motor can it be electrical he got a new stereo and since then it started acting up

[@TheDox451]

Sudden engine shutdowns are definitely electrical. Try unplugging the stereo and see. But it could be many things, mostly sensors (timing sensor, ignition sensor, heat sensor etc.). Does it happen randomly?

[@ahmedsalem2837]

Is there a problem if i connect rear camera with the parkeringsensor the same revers light

[@BellatorCQC]

Hey Scotty! What do you recommend as far as oil change intervals? Mine's a normal commuter, a 2005 ford focus 2.0L with 140k miles. I was thinking of using full synthetic oil since it's reached the "high mileage" part of it's life. Ford recommends changing every 5,000 miles, but my dad swears in his work vehicle (a 2008 Nissan Altima) that they do full synthetic and change it every 10k and thinks I should do the same. I've heard arguments for both sides of the fence - either change it every 3-4k religiously or change it every 8-10k with no problems. I'm sure it's a question you've covered before, but I couldn't find it in a video. Thanks!!!

[@scottykilmer]

stick to five on that old thing

[@nateat29]

hey Scott y, can you provide some input on why my display shows all fuzzy and static. referring to my double din radio. also, how do I hook it up so it comes on automatically when ib place car in reverse? I'm having to click on rear camera to show display.

[@scottykilmer]

pray you have a bad ground on that circuit, if not, often just the display circuit board breaking down

[@shaneshaharmckyton7831]

if you use the wireless transmitter, most often they work on 2.4 Ghz frequency. you might have other devices that interfere with the signal/just bad transmitter.

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

A backup camera would be nice sometimes, but I wouldn't want it on only when in reverse, so I'd probably have to feed 2 wires through to the front: One for the video, and one for a switch I can put in the dashboard. Plus, in this case a dedicated display might be better, so the mirror is still usable when the camera is on. But for people who only use it when in reverse, this is certainly a cool and cheap little gadget.

[@charlestonlloydremojo7869]

hey scotty nice vid ..thanks a lot man..ill buy one..

[@ZzzRoofus]

What's the brand of the camera system?

[@TheMisterTroll02]

does this only work on large vehicles?

[@scottykilmer]

works on any 12 volt system with negative ground

[@Dannymclovin]

I live in Texas and got the exact same camera but it covered the word texas so is that legal??? or do I have to put it on the bottom of the plate or is even legal period?

[@scottykilmer]

it can't cover up wording, but you can put it other places where it doesn't

[@lucienr]

I wonder if it would work in winter (Canada) at -30C !
